Radio waves, or other electromagnetic waves, just go on, and on, and on.
ADDED. They do, assuming nothing is in their way, but they are attenuated by distance, by an inverse-square law, so eventually they are too faint to detect.

The real question is: "At what distance is the signal strength from the FM station
so low that your best receiver can't detect it ?"
As long as nothing completely blocks it, there's no limit to how far it travels. But the radio energy keeps getting thinner and more spread out as it travels farther. So the real question is: How far away from the source can you collect enough of the radio energy to be able to listen to it ?

2. Common broadcast transmitters, a few metres to thousands of kilometres. 774 ABC Melbourne routinely covers the state of Victoria - around 300 km-plus.

emitted from them. The objects include some that are billions of light years distant from us.
There's no limit to the distance that a radio signal can travel. But its power spreads out
over a wider area as it travels, so the farther it has gone, the 'thinner' it seems to an
antenna trying to receive it.
So, the question is not "How far can the wave travel ?"
The question is "How far can it go before I can no longer detect it with the technology that I have ?"

What does the number of a FM radio station mean?
The numbers in an FM radio station represent the frequency the station transmits the signal on. The frequency range for FM band radio stations is from 87.5 MHz to 108.0 MHz. These radio frequencies are considered VHF or Very High Frequency. The difference between AM and FM radio is that in AM radio the Amplitude is Modulated, or changed to send the signal, whereas with FM, the Frequency is Modulated or altered to send the signal.
What is FM frequency?
A: This term refers to the FM band or frequency range.
Can you listen to a FM radio in a Cessna?
Depending on your altitude and range from broadcasting towers, yes. ------------------------------- No! because the impidence and frequency range does not cover up FM ranges, Its also illegal! if you can receive FM on your COMM 1 in your aircraft you can also transmit which is also illegal for anyone/thing to transmit unauthroised on Air band radio.
What is the wavelength of 11.5MHz a typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting?
Fm radio waves travel at various frequencies between 87.5 MHz and 108.0 MHz
What is the wavelength range for the FM radio band (88MHz-108MHz)?
That's the frequency band that international telecommunications meetings and the FCC decided to allocate to FM broadcast. As a result of that decision, all FM broadcast stations in the US have carrier frequencies in that range. If they applied for a license to broadcast on a frequency outside of that range, it wasn't granted, and they soon got the idea. The manufacturers of radios, being a pretty smart bunch, realized right away that if all of the FM broadcast stations were on frequencies in that range, then they'd be smart to build their products with the ability to receive FM broadcast in that range. If you play around with a receiver that can receive frequencies outside that range, you'll hear TV channel 6 between 82-88 MHz, and aircraft navigation and communication above 110 MHz.
How far is the range on an FM tranmitter for a car radio?
The range on an FM transmitter for a car radio is roughly designed to transmit a radio signal to more than 500 meters away in the FM broadcasting band.
What are the Operating frequency for AM and FM?
The AM radio band falls in the comparatively low frequency range of 550 to 1600 KHz while FM radio operates in the 88 to 108 MHZ range and CB operates in the relatively narrow range of 26.95 to 27.405 MHZ. Cellular telephone operates in a frequency band of 825 to 890 MHZ.

How do you modify a walkie talkie to make the range wider?
If it operates on Citizens band, it's a four watt radio, and that's all which is permitted by law. If it's an FM radio, you need the services of a field professional.
Does low band FM frequency jam elephants hearing range?
No
What is the wavelength of 11.5MHz a typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting?
Fm radio waves travel at various frequencies between 87.5 MHz and 108.0 MHz
What would cause FM band to fail in radio?
u might have blowed the transmitter
Why does your FM radio purchased in Japan have limited frequency range when used in the US?
Japan use 76 - 90 FM
