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.
