Both X-rays, and radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum..........

Explanation:

And as wave phenomena:

#c=nuxxlambda#, where #c="the speed of light", 3.00xx10^8*m*s^-1#. #nu="frequency"#, with units of #s^-1#, and #lambda="wavelength"#, with units of #m#.

And so #lambda_"FM radio wave"=c/nu=(3.00xx10^8*m*s^-1)/(102xx10^6*s^-1)~=3.0*m.#
