SUMMARY
FM radio operates at a higher frequency than AM radio in the United States, resulting in a shorter wavelength for FM signals. Specifically, the FM band ranges from 88 to 108 MHz, while AM radio operates between 530 to 1700 kHz. Consequently, AM radio has a larger wavelength compared to FM radio, making it suitable for long-distance transmission due to its ability to diffract around obstacles.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of radio frequency bands
