The third choice on the list ... 600,000 Hz ... is the same as 600 KHz.
That's the "600" (or "60") displayed near low end of the AM radio dial.
The first two items on the list are not used for radio communication:
-- 60 Hz is the frequency of the AC power that comes out of the
household electrical outlet (in North America).
-- 6,000 Hz is in the audible range. Current at that frequency is present
in every earphone, loudspeaker, and local telephone line.
The last item on the list ... 6,000,000 Hz or 6 MHz ... is in the international
broadcast bands. It can be tuned on any "short wave" radio.
No, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radios do not receive AM stations. DAB is designed for digital broadcasting and operates on different frequencies compared to AM (Amplitude Modulation) and FM (Frequency Modulation) radio. If you want to listen to AM stations, you'll need a traditional AM radio or a device that specifically supports AM broadcasting.
In the USA: All commercial AM stations are assigned frequencies in the band 550-1620 KHz, in increments of 10 KHz. All commercial FM stations are assigned frequencies in the band 88-108 MHz, in increments of 100 KHz (0.1 MHz).
In the USA: All commercial AM stations are assigned frequencies in the band 550-1620 KHz, in increments of 10 KHz. All commercial FM stations are assigned frequencies in the band 88-108 MHz, in increments of 100 KHz (0.1 MHz).
FM radio stations use decimals to specify their frequencies because the frequency range for FM broadcasting is divided into 200 kHz channels. For example, a station broadcasting at 94.1 MHz is operating at 94,100 kHz, and the decimal allows for finer differentiation between closely spaced frequencies. This precision helps avoid interference between stations and provides listeners with a clearer signal.
Yes we can. At least for the commercial broadcast stations in the USA.AM stations:Carrier frequencies are at every 10 KHz, between 550 KHz and 1700 KHz.FM stations:Carrier frequencies are at every 0.2 MHz, between 88.1 MHz and 107.9 MHz.
See page 101 of your study unit. In there you will find that radio frequencies used by commercial radio broadcasting stations range from about 550,000 Hz to 1,700,000 Hz.
In the USA ... -- Commercial AM radio stations operate with carrier frequencies spaced every 10 KHz between 550 KHz and 1700 KHz. -- Commercial FM radio stations operate with carrier frequencies spaced every 200 KHz between 88.1 MHz and 107.9 MHz.

In the US, the AM broadcast band occupies 550 - 1,700 KHz, with assigned carrier frequencies spaced by 10 KHz. The FM broadcast band occupies 88 - 108 MHz, with assigned carrier frequencies spaced by 200 KHz (0.2 MHz) starting at 88.1 MHz.
The frequency that falls in the range of RF waves used by commercial radio broadcasting stations is 3 kHz to 300 GHz. This is the frequency of radio waves and the alternating currents that carry them.
FM radio stations use decimals to specify their frequencies because the frequency range for FM broadcasting is divided into 200 kHz channels. For example, a station broadcasting at 94.1 MHz is operating at 94,100 kHz, and the decimal allows for finer differentiation between closely spaced frequencies. This precision helps avoid interference between stations and provides listeners with a clearer signal.
Each country has different frequency bands allocated for AM and FM radio. In the U.S. AM takes up the range from 535KHz to 1605KHz. FM radio takes 88.0MHz to 108.0MHz.Each radio station then receives a slice of that frequency band, regulated by the FCC. Each station is typically given a frequency far from all other stations. For example, three stations would be given the frequencies 93.3MHz, 94.5MHz and 96.1MHz. In theory, the stations could be closer (ie 94.3MHz, 94.5MHz and 94.7MHz) though this is rarely done because each station would then cause more interference to its neighbors.(The stations don't actually 'cause interference' to their neighbors. The weaknessis the ability of consumer-grade receivers to separate stations whose frequenciesare close together.)

Underground radio refers to independent radio stations that operate outside the mainstream broadcasting system, often focusing on niche genres, local music, or alternative content. These stations typically emphasize artistic freedom, community engagement, and a DIY ethos, often broadcasting without commercial constraints. They can be found on various platforms, including FM frequencies, internet streaming, and even pirate radio. Underground radio serves as a voice for underrepresented communities and promotes cultural diversity.
Broadcasting stations use television satellites to send their signals around the world.
