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.

why are radio waves invisible?
When a wave's wavelength is larger than the size of an object, the wave flows around the object, and has no significant effect on the internals of that object. Because the wavelength of a radio wave is much larger than the light-sensitive protein in the retina of the human eye, a radio wave does not trigger the change in that protein that would cause a neural signal to be sent to the brain.
The wavelength of a radio wave received at 100 megahertz is?
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 300,000,000/100,000,000 = 3 meters
What is the longest wave length?
Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with longest wavelength.
What is the minimum wavelength of a radio wave?
Extra-low frequency radio waves can have wavelengths as long as 3.5 miles or more. The shortest wavelength is around 1 mm.
What is the wavelength of the 60 thousands hz radio wave used by radio controlled clocks and wristwatches?
Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) = (300,000,000) / (60,000) = 5,000 meters
What type of wave has longest wavelength?
In the electromagnetic spectrum, it is the radio wave that has the longest wavelength. Some radio waves are over 100 yards long.
What type of wave has the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency?
I think it is radio waves!
Which has a longer wavelength radio or infrared?
Radio wave.
What is the velocity of a radio wavelength of 3m?
If u meant radio wave, then velocity of all electromagnetic wave is 3*108 m/s. Hence velocity of radio wave will be the same ,as it as an em wave, irrespective of its wavelength.
The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is its?
Wavelength.
What are the components of a radio wave?
Speed, wavelength and frequency.
What type of wave has the longest wavelength?
Radio waves are amongst the shortest. Gamma and X rays are shorter. The long wave lengths are at the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum. These are called 'infra red,
Which type of electromagnetic wave has a wavelength that is about 10m to 1000m long?
The type of electromagnetic radiation includes the wavelength of 10 up to the -7 m is visible light. The wavelike properties of electrons are useful in determining the velocity and position of a particle.
Is a microwave?
A short-wavelength radio wave. An electromagnetic wave that is somewhere in between regular radio waves and infrared radiation.
What is a wave with the longest wavelength and lowest frequency?
Radio waves
What type of electromagnetic wave is the largest?
The section we call 'radio'. Of course, there's no end to the electromagnetic spectrum, at least not on the low-frequency end, so there's really no such thing as "greatest" wavelength. As frequencies go down past radio and below, wavelength just keeps getting longer ... the bit of radiation from the 60 Hz utility power lines has a wavelength of almost 5,000 kilometers ( ! ! ). But we don't use anything down there in the form of radiation ... antennas would need to be gigantic in order to be the least bit efficient ... so there's no popular name for the radiated form. The 'generic' answer to the question is: The type with the lowest frequency.
