You are changing the capacitance of the main component that determines the

frequency of the "local oscillator" in the radio. The local oscillator mixes with all

of the radio signals that come in from the antenna, and converts them all down to

lower frequencies. The one signal that winds up converted to 10.7 MHz in an FM

radio (or 455 KHz in an AM radio) is the one that gets passed on and processed

by the rest of the guts of the radio. All the others get filtered out and discarded.

You change a variable resistor in the the tuning circuit. The value of the resistor dictates the frequency that the radio is receiving.

How can the pitch and volume of a guitar be altered?

Pitch changes as you turn the tuning pegs. Volume can only be increased with an amplifier, then you just turn up the volume.


When you turn your radio up what increases?

When you turn up the volume on your radio, the amplitude of the sound waves increases. This results in a louder sound being produced by the speakers. The higher the volume, the more energy is needed to produce a larger amplitude sound wave.


What might cause the waves of sound from a radio to increase in intensity?

Try turning the volume knob up! Or move it closer to your ear.

How do you set the clock on a 2003 Chevrolet express van?

Does tuning into a higher megahertz radio stations...for example 101.3 instead of 96.3... use more energy?

No. The 'frequency' of the signal you're trying to receive (or transmit) is totally unrelated to the power the station is using, or the power your radio uses to listen to it. The one thing you can do with a radio that really changes the amount of power it uses is . . . to turn the sound volume up.


Why does my Raido cut out if i turn the volume up?

Sounds as if there may be a short in the radio, or some other stronger signal is interferring i.e, CB radio, or just a simple crossed wire


Why Did James F Reynolds Invent the Radio Alarm Clock?

According to my uncle who is James Reynolds son."the alarm quit working on his wind up clock... so he rigged the key on the back of the clock to the volume knob on the radio. when the alarm started going off, the key would spin around and turn the volume up on the radio."

What would change if you turn up a radios volume wave velocity intensity pitch amplitude frequency wavelenght or loudness?

Turning up a radio's volume increases the loudness, which is the perceived intensity of the sound. Loudness is directly related to the amplitude of the audio waves produced by the radio. Increasing the volume will not affect the other properties such as wave velocity, pitch, frequency, or wavelength.
