Shortwave and longwave radiation interacts with the earth and atmosphere in different ways. Shortwave radiation (visible light) contains a lot of energy; longwave radiation (infrared light) contains less energy than shortwave radiation (shortwave radiation has a shorter wavelength than longwave radation).
Read moreWhat is MW and LW?
AM, which stands for Amplitude Modulation (AM) is the oldest radio broadcasting system in the UK. The term AM is commonly used to cover both Medium Wave (MW) and Long Wave (LW). All AM radio stations broadcast in mono.
Read moreWhat is MW on a radio?
Medium wave (MW) is the part of the medium frequency (MF) radio band used mainly for AM radio broadcasting. The spectrum provides about 120 channels with more limited sound quality than FM stations on the FM broadcast band.
Read moreIs MW the same as AM radio?
Medium wave (MW) signals are transmitted using amplitude modulation (AM) and the terms are used interchangeably . FM signals are mostly transmitted in the very high frequency (VHF) or ultra high frequency (UHF) bands and are used for voice (radio) as well as video (TV) broadcasting.
