Neither one is specifically longer or shorter, it depends on the frequency at which they are transmitted.
IE, if you transmit AM at 2.4GHz, the wavelength is gonig to be much shorter as compared if you transmitted it at 1MHz (ie, say 1cm vs a few KM)

I said I wasn't technically clued, what I meant by 'short' was - FM is used for short distance transmission, no? And AM for long?
Could be wrong.
Or, yeah and you completely lost me with all the techn. terms ;)
