FM radio has the higher frequency which is why it sounds better. AM is a lower frequency but can travel further because the waves bounce off

Is determined by the medium wave?

The determination of the medium wave frequency range is between AM and FM radio frequencies. Medium waves have lower frequencies than FM but higher frequencies than long waves. They are commonly used for AM radio broadcasting.


What has a greater frequency am waves or FM waves?

FM waves are of higher frequency than am waves.AM radio ranges from 535 to 1705 kilohertzFM radio ranges in a higher spectrum from 88 to 108 megahertz.


What is the frequency of radio wave?

Fm radio waves travel at various frequencies between 87.5 MHz and 108.0 MHz


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.


Is am frequencies higher then FM frequencies?

no


Are FM frequencies in the range of radio waves?

They are the ones that are Frequently Monitored, wether it be by the government or spy agencies of the army. They have just been shortened to FM.


What is extremely low frequency radiation?

Low frequency waves are waves with long wavelengths, by definition, since their cycle is slowly repeated. One example is AM radio waves compared to visible light waves. AM radio waves have a frequency of around 1 MegaHertz (1,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 meters long. In contrast, visible light waves have a frequency of around 500 TeraHertz (300,000,000,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 nanometers long (.000000500 meters).


What is the main use of frequency modulation?

Frequency modulation is used to broadcast radio waves to receivers. The most common use of it is in FM radio, which contains a range of radio frequencies.


What are the differences between AM and FM waves?

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 SAP addresses in FM radio broadcasting?

SAP addresses are the FM frequencies, like FM 91.4.


Which waves carries AM and FM signals?

Radio waves


What is the wavelength of 11.5MHz a typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting?

Fm radio waves travel at various frequencies between 87.5 MHz and 108.0 MHz
