Radio is a way of transmitting signals without wires. It uses electromagnetic radiation to transmit sounds made in one place to listeners in many places. Radio is also known as 'wireless telegraphy', or 'wireless', as earlier methods for sending signals (such as the telegraph and telephone) used wires. Australia adopted radio for communications at sea and in lighthouses, and wireless telegraphy gradually replaced the Overland Telegraph which had been completed in 1872.

Which type of wave has a larger wavelength FM radio or AM radio?

There's no difference between a frequency-modulated wave and an amplitude-modulated wave. Either kind can be generated and transmitted with any wavelength you want. In the USA, however, AM broadcast stations are licensed to operate only in the band 550-1700 KHz, and FM broadcast stations are licensed to operate only in the band 88-108 MHz. So for ordinary programs that you listen to on an ordinary radio, the AM stations all have longer wavelengths than the FM stations have.
