Maximum amplitude of message signal in amplitude modulation is 20 ~cm . If the amplitude of carrier wave is 40 ~cm , then modulation index of modulated wave is

Options

  1. A1
  2. B0.5
  3. C0.25
  4. D2

Correct answer

B. 0.5

Step-by-step solution

The modulation index for an amplitude modulated wave is defined as the ratio of the amplitude of the message signal A_m to the amplitude of the carrier wave A_c . Given values are A_m = 20 cm and A_c = 40 cm . The formula for the modulation index is = A_m A_c . Substituting the given values: = 20 40 = 0.5 . Answer: 0.5
