Given below are two statements

Statement I : For transmitting a signal, size of antenna (l)( l ) should be comparable to wavelength of signal (at least l=λ4l = \dfrac{\lambda}{4} in dimension).

Statement II : In amplitude modulation, amplitude of carrier wave remains constant (unchanged).

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  3. CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  4. DStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Correct answer

D. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Step-by-step solution

In amplitude modulation frequency of carrier wave remains unchanged. Minimum size of antenna should be 14\dfrac{1}{4}th of wavelength so that the antenna can sense the variations of the signal properly.
