i don’t understand when i google it so Whats the difference
In: Technology
“AM” means “amplitude modulation.” It sends sound signals by changing how high up and down the radio waves go. Big waves have high amplitude. Small waves have low amplitude. This is like having a single pure sound that gets louder or quieter, or a single pure color that gets more or less intense.
“FM” means “frequency modulation.” The signal slightly adjusts the frequency by tiny amounts to encode the sounds. The waves get slightly longer (lower frequency) or shorter (higher). This is like starting from the note C and becoming *slightly* sharper or flatter, or starting from green and becoming *slightly* more yellow or blue.
