lighning

thank you for any answers


I think you'll find that your question doesn't "map well" onto how
lightning works.

Saying "AM radio waves" or "FM radio waves" implies that there is a
carrier wave, which is being either amplitude-modulated or
frequency-modulated.


"AM radio waves" and "FM radio waves" are laymen's terms for
"waves around 1 MHz" and "waves around 100 MHz" respectively.
