Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).

The initials “AM” stand for amplitude modulation. Instead of fluctuating frequencies as above, they instead vary the amplitude, such that y= A(t)sin[2pif]t. Notice that the frequency is now fixed, but the amplitude will be inconsistent. Each AM station is assigned a frequency in kHz (1000 waves/second.) For example, 760AM is assigned a frequency of f=760kHz. a. What is the wavelength of the 760AM radio waves? b. Suppose a station has equation y=A(t)sin(1,850,000pit). What is this station?c.
