Answer:

AM has longer wavelength

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength and teh frequency is given by

v = f x λ

Where, f is the frequency and λ be the wavelength.

It shows that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

So, higher the frequency, smaller be the wavelength.

So, FM has high frequency than AM, thus, FM has lower wavelength as compared to AM.
