The maximum amplitude of an amplitude modulated wave is \(16 \mathrm{~V}\), while the minimum amplitude is \(4 \mathrm{~V}\). The modulation index is

  1. A \(0.4\)
  2. B \(0.5\)
  3. C \(0.6\)
  4. D \(4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(m=\frac{A_m}{A_c}=\frac{E_{\max }-E_{\min }}{E_{\max }+E_{\min }}\) Here, \(E_{\max }=16 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(E_{\min }=4 \mathrm{~V}\) \(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad m=\frac{16-4}{16+4} \\ & =\frac{12}{20}=\frac{3}{5}=0.6 \end{aligned}\)
