Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The magnetic field that changes is generated by changing the electric field around a charge. Likewise, the electric field that changes is generated by changing the magnetic field around a charge. The electromagnetic waves are generated in an electric and magnetic field due to continuous charge.

Amplitude modulation (AM) wave:

The amplitude of the audio signal is modulated with the amplitude with the amplitude of the carrier (high frequency) signal.

Frequency modulation (FM) wave:

The amplitude of the audio signal is modulated with the frequency of the carrier (high frequency) signal.

The carrier wave is shown below:
