102 MHz means that the wave completes a cycle 102 million times per second
Explanation:
Radio stations transmit data through radio waves. A radio wave is the longest type of wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum.
One type of way to measure a wave is by determining ts frequency, which is how many times the wave goes up and down in a certain amount of time. A common unit of measurement is the hertz , which is measures the number of times a wave cycles, or goes up and down, in one second.
The prefix Mega- simply means
