AM means Amplitude(=height) modulation, so the frequency stays the same and the message is coded into variations of the strength of the signal.

FM stands for Frequency modulation. Here the strength of the signal stays the same and the message is coded into changes in frequency instead.

What are uses for radio waves?

Regular household AM radios pick up stations on frequencies between 550 KHz to 1.7 MHz . . . wavelengths between 176 meters and 545 meters. Regular FM radios pick up stations on frequencies between 88 MHz and 108 MHz . . . wavelengths between 2.8 meters and 3.4 meters. 'Short wave' radios, taxi radios, police radios, CB radios, firetruck radios, aircraft radios, weather radios, satellite radios, toy walkie-talkie radios, cellphone radios, computer WiFi radios, cordless telephone radios, garage door opener radios, Bluetooth radios, 4G iPad radios, and microwave oven radio transmitters all have their own separate frequencies/wavelengths that they operate on, so that they don't all interfere with each other.

The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is its?

The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is their wavelengths. Light waves have shorter wavelengths compared to radio waves. Additionally, light waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen by the human eye, whereas radio waves are typically used for communication and have longer wavelengths.
