In amplitude modulation, the amplitude of the carrier ware is 10 V and the amplitude of one of the side bands is 2 V . Then the modulation index is

  1. A \(0.8\)
  2. B \(0.6\)
  3. C \(0.7\)
  4. D \(0.5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In amplitude modulation (AM) wave, \(\begin{aligned} & A_c=10 V, A_{\min }=2 V \\ & \Rightarrow A_c-A_s=2 \Rightarrow A_{s^{\prime}}=10-2=8 \mathrm{~V} \\ & \therefore \quad A_{\max }=A_s+A c=8+10=18 \mathrm{~V} \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore \quad\) Modulation index,…
