How do I know if my radio is AM or FM?

Find Your Local Station: With AM radio, the amplitude, or overall strength, of the signal is varied to incorporate the sound information. With FM, the frequency (the number of times each second that the current changes direction) of the carrier signal is varied.

What are typical frequencies of AM radio?

The typical frequency range in which AM works is 535 to 1705 Kilohertz, whereas the frequency range is around 88-108 Megahertz for FM.

Does AM radio or FM radio have a higher frequency?

FM uses a higher frequency range and a bigger bandwidth than AM. AM radio operates from 535 kHz (kiloHertz) to 1605 kHz. When you tune the dial on your radio, the number changes by 10 kHz each time. This means that each station has 10 kHz of bandwidth on which to broadcast.

What does FM and AM mean in radio frequencies?

AM(or Amplitude Modulation) and FM(or Frequency Modulation) are ways of broadcasting radio signals. Both transmit the information in the form of electromagnetic waves. AM works by modulating (varying) the amplitudeof the signal or carrier transmitted according to the information being sent, while the frequency remains constant.
