Maximum amplitude of message signal in amplitude modulation is \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\). If the amplitude of carrier wave is \(40 \mathrm{~cm}\), then modulation index of modulated wave is

  1. A 1
  2. B 0.5
  3. C 0.25
  4. D 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The modulation index \(\mu\) 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 \(A_m = 20 \text{ cm}\) and \(A_c = 40 \text{ cm}\). The formula for the modulation…
