AM broadcasts can be received at
greaterdistancesthanFMbroadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequency. These
long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth rather
thantravellingstraightoutintotheiono-
sphere. In addition, they curve around
obstructions so that they can provide
better signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencyanddonotbendtofollowthe
earth's surface. Because of this, FM
broadcasts generally begin to fade at
short distances from the station. Also,
