The main difference between AM and FM radio is the dial-in number and the amount of static each receive. AM radio preceded FM radio, with FM becoming popular in the 1950s.

What are FM waves?

FM radio uses frequency modulation to broadcast sound over radio. FM radio waves are usually transmitted between 87.5 to 108.0 megahertz.

What does the number of a FM radio station mean?

The numbers in an FM radio station represent the frequency the station transmits the signal on. The frequency range for FM band radio stations is from 87.5 MHz to 108.0 MHz. These radio frequencies are considered VHF or Very High Frequency. The difference between AM and FM radio is that in AM radio the Amplitude is Modulated, or changed to send the signal, whereas with FM, the Frequency is Modulated or altered to send the signal.


What makes FM radios different from AM radios?

AM radio is KHz FM radio is MHz AM radio can cover the world. FM radio can cover a county. AM radio is excellent in communication. FM radio is completely worthless, except for good sound quality. AM radio doesn't have as good sound quality as FM. FM is much higher on the radio spectrum than AM.


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 is an FM radio?

Why do FM radio stations have better coverage than AM stations?

There is no "why", because they don't. -- In the language of radio engineering, "coverage" means how far out from their tower they can reach listeners. AM broadcast stations win that contest hands-down, mainly because of the differences in radio propagation at 1 MHz vs. 100 MHz. -- If you mean the quality, clarity, and crisp cleanliness of the sound, FM wins that one, because of the technical difference between the AM and FM modulation processes.
