What will normal Amplitude Modulation receiver detect from an unmodulated Radio Frequency AC wave?

Nothing

It is the mixing of two frequencies across a nonlinear impedance.

Heterodyning

It is used to generate many output frequencies through the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of a smaller number of fixed frequency sources.
