Here is a boiled down version:
Band – Abbreviation - Frequency > wavelength – Use
Very low frequency – VLF - 3–30 kHz > 100 km – 10 km – Navigation
Low frequency – LF - 30–300 kHz > 10 km – 1 km - AM long-wave broadcasts
Medium frequency – MF - 300–3000 kHz > 1 km – 100 m - AM medium-wave broadcasts
High frequency – HF - 3–30 MHz > 100 m – 10 m – Short-wave broadcasts, amateur radio, over-the-horizon aviation communications, Marine and mobile radios
Very high frequency – VHF - 30–300 MHz > 10 m – 1 m - FM, television broadcasts, line-of-sight ground-to-aircraft, aircraft-to-aircraft communications, weather radio
Ultra high frequency – UHF - 300–3000 MHz > 1 m – 100 mm - microwave ovens, mobile phones, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, GPS
Super high frequency – SHF - 3–30 GHz > 100 mm – 10 mm - microwave communications, most modern radars, communications satellites, satellite television broadcasting
