The wavelength of *any* wave traveling in *any* medium is given by dividing the frequency into the propagation velocity (in the medium). For EM waves, that's about 300 million meters/sec. so
300,000,000/88,000,000 = 3.409 m

Divide 300 by the frequency in megahertz, that gives you a good approximation of the wavelength in metres.

speed of light in meters divided by the freq. 300,000,000 / 88,000,000 = 300 / 88 meters

299752498 m/s *1 second/88000000 htz= 3.4 meters per hts
or 3.4 meters/wave
That makes if the size of FM waves,
