Answer
Amplitude Modulation, or AM, as used in Reginald Fessenden's early experiments and transmissions, involves transmitting information by varying the amplitude (strength) of a carrier signal in accordance with the sound wave. This technique allowed Fessenden to transmit audio content over long distances via radio waves, paving the way for the development of radio broadcasting and communication.
