Best Answer

No, because of the wavelenghts. Those do not correspond to being on the Moon. Except: if you can make special FM wavelenghts.

What is the wave frequency of an FM radio wave?

FM radio is transmitted anywhere in the spectrum of 88Mhz to 108Mhz


What are FM waves?

FM radio uses frequency modulation to broadcast sound over radio. FM radio waves are usually transmitted between 87.5 to 108.0 megahertz.


Why FM signal is more local and cannot be transmitted over long distance?

Since FM signals have shorter wavelength and high frequency, it is diffracted much. Therefore it is not suitable for long distance communiation.


What is the transmitting range of 10kw FM transmitter?

As FM is transmitted using VHF, the transmitting range is more a matter of Line of Sight than transmitter power as these frequencies only follow straight lines.

yes it could


What is the difference between FM and AM?

AM and FM - Difference AM stands for amplitude modulation. It is the older technology for broadcast radio. In an AM signal, the carrier frequency is fixed and the information (audio or other signal) is transmitted by varying the magnitude of the carrier wave. FM stands for frequency modulation. In an FM signal, the magnitude of the carrier wave is fixed and the information is transmitted by varying the frequency of the carrier. An FM receiver can produce a better signal-to-noise ratio, since lightning and other electrostatic noises in the atmosphere can be mistaken for changes in amplitude of an AM signal, but do not resemble the changes in frequency in an FM signal. This led to FM being used increasingly for music broadcasts, where noise was particularly bothersome. As it turns out, AM broadcast stations were also allocated limited bandwidth, which restricted their ability to transmit high-fidelity audio. FM broadcast frequencies were not so restricted. That meant that FM also had better audio bandwidth as well as better signal-to-noise ratio. However, that was a result of the technical decisions by the FCC (and its equivalent in other countries), not an inherent difference between AM and FM technology. There are of course, additional modulation systems for each type of carrier, but that largely depends on the application. Television (NTSC) uses both AM (picture) and FM (sound). HDTV uses digital modulation for both picture and sound.


Why FM signal cannot be transmitted over long distance?

FM stations are assigned to a part of the VHF band. VHF only travels in straight lines. It cannot follow the earth's curvature or get past mountains. That limits the range. Its not FM thats the issue, but the assigned transmitter frequencies.

Why did NASA have such grainy images on the moon?

They were transmitted from the moon, and the quality of transmitting was not very good. The original film has also aged.


Which modulation your radio stations are using now?

Hi, Same as always. AM (amplitude modulation). FM (frequency modulation) and some FM's are now adding a digital component to their signal at the sacrifice of some transmitted volume. Hope that helps, Cubby


Sound quality between AM and FM?

There are two types of modulations. They are amplitude modulation and frequency modulation. In AM, amplitude of the signal is modified. In FM, frequency is getting modulated. Frequency modulated with carrier waves are transmitted and received by receivers without any distortion.
