See page 101 of your study unit. In there you will find that radio frequencies used by commercial radio broadcasting stations range from about 550,000 Hz to 1,700,000 Hz.

Do power stations work with a wire and magnet?

Some power stations do work with a wire and magnet but some others don't.


How much more expensive is solar energy than fossil fuels?

Fossil fuel power stations typically cost about $2.1 dollars per watt to build solar stations around $7 at present. The efficiency is increasing and costs are falling. This of course does not represent the cost to the consumer. In addition it does not take into account all the various other costs and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Fuel (fossil stations), poor sunlight (solar stations). Maintenance costs are similar for single plants but solar stations do not have the capacity of fossil fuel stations.


Where on the electromagnetic spectrum do you find Am and FM waves?

There are no such things as 'AM' and 'FM' waves. When we take an electromagnetic wave, and force it to carry information by changing its amplitude according to some pattern related to the information, we operate on it with the process of 'AM'. Commercial radio stations that add sound information to their carrier waves in that way operate in the frequency band of 0.55 - 1.7 MHz (in the US). When we take an electromagnetic wave, and force it to carry information by changing its frequency according to some pattern related to the information, we operate on it with the process of 'FM'. Commercial radio stations that add sound and other information to their carrier waves in that way operate in the frequency band of 88 - 108 MHz (in the US).


Which country has the most power stations?

The USA


Is it a better option to produce electricity as compared to hydroelectric power stations?

Hydroelectric power stations certainly have their advantages and disadvantages, as do all forms of electrical generation. Probably the best solution is to use a combination of different means of producing electricity, with hydroelectric stations as part of the mix.

Which frequencies falls in the range of RF waves used by commercial radio broadcasting stations?

In the USA ... -- Commercial AM radio stations operate with carrier frequencies spaced every 10 KHz between 550 KHz and 1700 KHz. -- Commercial FM radio stations operate with carrier frequencies spaced every 200 KHz between 88.1 MHz and 107.9 MHz.


What is the frequency used by most commercial radio stations?

In the USA: All commercial AM stations are assigned frequencies in the band 550-1620 KHz, in increments of 10 KHz. All commercial FM stations are assigned frequencies in the band 88-108 MHz, in increments of 100 KHz (0.1 MHz).


What is the frequency band used by most commercial radio stations?

What frequencies of RF waves are used by commercial radio broadcasting stations?

In the US, the AM broadcast band occupies 550 - 1,700 KHz, with assigned carrier frequencies spaced by 10 KHz. The FM broadcast band occupies 88 - 108 MHz, with assigned carrier frequencies spaced by 200 KHz (0.2 MHz) starting at 88.1 MHz.


What frequencies falls in the range of RF waves used by commercial radio broadcastings stations?

The frequency that falls in the range of RF waves used by commercial radio broadcasting stations is 3 kHz to 300 GHz. This is the frequency of radio waves and the alternating currents that carry them.


What is the frequencies in the range of RF waves used by commercial radio broadcasting stations?

Each country has different frequency bands allocated for AM and FM radio. In the U.S. AM takes up the range from 535KHz to 1605KHz. FM radio takes 88.0MHz to 108.0MHz.Each radio station then receives a slice of that frequency band, regulated by the FCC. Each station is typically given a frequency far from all other stations. For example, three stations would be given the frequencies 93.3MHz, 94.5MHz and 96.1MHz. In theory, the stations could be closer (ie 94.3MHz, 94.5MHz and 94.7MHz) though this is rarely done because each station would then cause more interference to its neighbors.(The stations don't actually 'cause interference' to their neighbors. The weaknessis the ability of consumer-grade receivers to separate stations whose frequenciesare close together.)


Can you give the frequency for all radio stations?

Yes we can. At least for the commercial broadcast stations in the USA.AM stations:Carrier frequencies are at every 10 KHz, between 550 KHz and 1700 KHz.FM stations:Carrier frequencies are at every 0.2 MHz, between 88.1 MHz and 107.9 MHz.


What do broadcasting stations use to send their signals around the world?

Broadcasting stations use television satellites to send their signals around the world.


When you listen to a radio why are you able to hear only one station at a time rather then all stations at once?

Because different radio stations broadcast at different frequencies, and the radio tuner lets you decide which frequencies to listen to. Radio station owners have to buy the rights to use a particular frequency within a particular area. When you are driving sometimes you will hear two stations overlapping as you move out of the range of one station and into the range of another that is broadcasting on the same frequency.


What have television stations had to do for the switch to digital television?

AM radio frequency?

An AM-modulated transmission can be operated on any radio frequency. In the USA, AM commercial broadcast stations are assigned carrier frequencies between 550 KHz and 1.7 MHz.


Which radio station broadcasts a longer wavelenght 93.9 FM or 104.3 FM?

"Longer wavelength" always means lower frequency.
