    Don't forget to say that when receiving the waves of FM the device that receives them decodes the waves from a already written library of numbers for each wave. So this is why its so fast, each wave is already programmed to read FM .This is why AM radio is not as good as FM As am does not decode it just reads the waves as a high or low pitch wave. The reason this is so important is people still don't understand how it works as a whole.
    So each radio depending on who created it, works with a already written program to decode each wave as a one or zero.
    If you only have a AM radio it does not have any prerecorded information in it so it just picks up the waves and send them to your speaker. We use to call it a echo machine as it would just echo wave sounds into your speaker.
    But FM will read the waves like zeros and ones depending on the burst of frequency of each wave. If its one short blast or wave, then its a one. if there is a relaxed wave its a zero. The higher the range for the wave, the higher the pitch, the lower the wave or the more relaxed the burst, the lower the pitch.

    Yes! The carrier frequency for Wi-Fi is about 2.4 GHz, which is the same frequency as the radiation emitted by most microwaves. This is why microwaves can interfere with Wi-Fi signals.
