AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis-
tancesthanFMbroadcasts.ThisisbecauseAM
radio waves are transmitted at low frequency.
These long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In
addition,theycurvearoundobstructionssothat
they can provide better signal coverage.
FMbroadcastsaretransmittedathighfrequency
and do not bend to follow the earth's surface.
Becauseofthis,FMbroadcastsgenerallybegin
to fade at short distances from the station. Also,
FMsignalsareeasilyaffectedbybuildings,moun-
tains, or other obstructions. These can result in
