Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation used for transmitting audio, data, and signals. A radio station broadcasts modulated signals, which are picked up by a receiver and converted into sound. There are two main types of modulation: AM (Amplitude Modulation) and FM (Frequency Modulation), each with unique characteristics that influence signal quality and range.
