There is no fundamental difference in the waves.

It so happens that in the USA, commercial AM radio broadcasts in a frequency band

around 1 MHz, and FM radio broadcasts in a band around 100 MHz, so their frequencies

and wavelengths are different. But that has nothing to do with being AM or FM waves.

The codes used to manipulate the waves in order to make them carry information are

different for AM and FM, but there's no physical difference in the waves themselves.

What are the differences between AM and FM radio?

The main difference between AM and FM radio is the dial-in number and the amount of static each receive. AM radio preceded FM radio, with FM becoming popular in the 1950s.


What are FM waves?

FM waves, or frequency modulation waves, are a type of electromagnetic wave used in radio broadcasting. They carry audio information by varying the frequency of the wave, resulting in clearer sound quality and less susceptibility to interference compared to AM waves. FM radio stations are assigned specific frequencies to prevent signal overlap.


What are the similarities and differences between AM and FM waves?

Both AM (amplitude modulation) and FM (frequency modulation) are methods to add information to a carrier wave. The main difference is how they encode this information: AM varies the signal's amplitude, while FM varies the signal's frequency. AM is more susceptible to interference but has a longer range, while FM is less prone to interference and offers better sound quality.

Difference between satellite radio and regular radio?

One of the main differences between satellite radio and FM radio is that there is a cost for satellite and FM is free. Satellite radio also does not operate using the same numerical AM and FM channels as FM radio.
