In FM noise is low as compared to AM.
The AM signal covers more distance than FM signal that's why it gets more distorted.How ever the information in AM signal does not lose but the noise effects it more than that of FM signal,so we get signal with more noise than that of FM signal
For FM
Carson's rule
Main article: Carson bandwidth rule
A rule of thumb, Carson's rule states that nearly all (~98%) of the power of a frequency-modulated signal lies within a bandwidth of
where , as defined above, is the peak deviation of the instantaneous frequency from the center carrier frequency .
Noise quieting
The noise power decreases as the signal power increases; therefore the SNR goes up significantly.

A: AM radio is an Amplitude Modulation transmission . Meaning it has fix frequency but it is modulated by the signal. FM Frequency Modulation the frequency is modulated by the signal
The difference between frequency modulation and phase modulation is that with frequency modulation the angular frequency of the signal is modified while with the phase modulation, the phase angle of the signal is modified.
AM means Amplitude(=height) modulation, so the frequency stays the same and the message is coded into variations of the strength of the signal. FM stands for Frequency modulation. Here the strength of the signal stays the same and the message is coded into changes in frequency instead.
There are two types of modulations. They are amplitude modulation and frequency modulation. In AM, amplitude of the signal is modified. In FM, frequency is getting modulated. Frequency modulated with carrier waves are transmitted and received by receivers without any distortion.
A phase-locked loop (PLL) can be used as a universal detector for Amplitude Modulation (AM) by utilizing its ability to track the phase and frequency of the incoming modulated signal. The PLL locks onto the carrier frequency of the AM signal, allowing it to demodulate the envelope variations caused by the modulation. By comparing the output of the PLL with the original carrier frequency, the modulation information can be extracted as the difference between the two signals. This makes the PLL an effective detector for demodulating AM signals across a wide range of frequencies and modulation depths.
To draw the graph of modulation waves, first identify the carrier wave and the modulating signal. For amplitude modulation (AM), plot the carrier wave's amplitude varying based on the modulating signal's amplitude; the resulting waveform will show peaks that correspond to the modulating signal. For frequency modulation (FM), depict the carrier wave's frequency changing based on the modulating signal's amplitude, resulting in a waveform with varying spacing between peaks. Use appropriate scales for time and amplitude to accurately represent the modulation effects.

Maximum frequency deviation occurs in frequency modulation (FM) when the modulating signal reaches its peak amplitude. This deviation represents the greatest difference between the carrier frequency and the modulated frequency. In practice, it corresponds to the point where the instantaneous frequency of the carrier signal varies the most due to the modulation, often occurring at the maximum input signal level.
Frequency modulation (FM) is considered a form of nonlinear modulation. In FM, the frequency of the carrier wave varies in accordance with the amplitude of the input signal, which can lead to a complex relationship between the input and output signals. This nonlinearity is characterized by the generation of sidebands and additional frequency components that are not present in the original signal. Thus, FM does not maintain a direct proportionality between input and output, distinguishing it from linear modulations like amplitude modulation (AM).
A: A carrier carry information by modulation either Amplitude or Frequency modulation. Therefore AM and FM RADIO M stand for modulation
so...saying about acoustic waves for e.?amplitude influences loudness and frequency - pitch of tone
Both AM (amplitude modulation) and FM (frequency modulation) are methods to add information to a carrier wave. The main difference is how they encode this information: AM varies the signal's amplitude, while FM varies the signal's frequency. AM is more susceptible to interference but has a longer range, while FM is less prone to interference and offers better sound quality.
