FM signals travel as changes in the frequency of the wave.
ANSWER: DEFINITELY not frequency remains the same.The duty cycle changes.
It definitely IS the the frequency which changes. It changes at the same rate as the frequency of the modulation.
It can be demodulated with a frequency discriminator. If the frequency remained constant and its "duty cycle" changed, the discriminator wouldn't demodulate it.
AM (Amplitude Modulation) signals generally have lower energy compared to FM (Frequency Modulation) signals. This is because FM signals typically have a greater bandwidth and utilize a wider range of frequencies, allowing them to carry more power and provide better sound quality. Additionally, FM's method of encoding information through frequency changes tends to be more resilient to noise and interference, making it more effective for broadcasting.

AM station transmitters can operate at lower frequencies, allowing their signals to travel longer distances, especially at night when atmospheric conditions enhance propagation. The longer wavelengths of AM signals can diffract around obstacles and follow the curvature of the Earth, making them more effective for long-range transmission. In contrast, FM signals have higher frequencies with shorter wavelengths, which tend to travel in a more line-of-sight manner, limiting their range and effectiveness over long distances.
If your portable radio is receiving FM signals but not AM, it could be due to several factors. FM signals are generally less susceptible to interference and atmospheric conditions, which can affect AM reception. Additionally, the radio's design might prioritize FM tuning, or there could be an issue with the AM antenna, which is often less robust than the FM antenna. Lastly, ensure you're tuning to a valid AM frequency, as some regions may have fewer AM stations available.
AM stations can transmit farther than FM stations primarily due to their longer wavelength and lower frequency, which allows AM signals to travel longer distances, especially at night when atmospheric conditions enhance their reach. Additionally, AM signals can reflect off the ionosphere, enabling them to cover greater areas. In contrast, FM signals, which operate at higher frequencies, tend to be limited to line-of-sight propagation and are more susceptible to obstacles and terrain interference. Thus, while FM offers better sound quality over shorter distances, AM's characteristics allow for broader coverage.
They travel in a back and forth motion
a fm detector would be required

Yes, FM does travel in space. In fact I believe that at least some space communication utilizes FM signals (data and voice).

AM radio signals normally go further especially on long-wave broadcasts which can cover a radius of 300-400 miles. FM signals use shorter waves (around 1 metre long) and the range is usually 30-40 miles.
AM and FM are methods of delivering signals embedded in a carrier frequency. There are many applications for them but they are best known for radio applications AM means amplitude modulation. In this technique, the amplitude or height of the carrier signal increases and decreases as the base signal changes. AM radio signals will travel great distances so a single transmitter can cover large areas. FM means Frequency Modulation where the frequency of the carrier signal increases and decreases to represent the change in voltage of the base signal. FM signals tend to offer better signal quality than AM but the range is far less, demanding multiple transmitters to cover the same area as one AM transmitter.

The FM signal is more amune to static in the atmosphere than AM signals.
The range of AM radio is greater than that of FM radio because AM signals can travel long distances by bouncing off the Earth's upper atmosphere, a phenomenon known as ionospheric reflection. FM signals, on the other hand, travel in a straight line and are more susceptible to obstacles like buildings and hills, limiting their range.
Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation. They are different methods of transmitting radio signals. AM is good for transmitting radio signals long distance FM is good for transmitting radio signals short distances but better quality
