- Amplitude Modulation (AM) typically operates in the kilohertz (kHz) range (e.g., 530-1710 kHz for medium wave). - Frequency Modulation (FM) typically operates in the megahertz (MHz) range (e.g., 88-108 MHz for the broadcast band). - Therefore, the frequency range of FM is higher than that of AM.
What is not true about FM (Frequency Modulation) radio waves?
