Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 12 volt

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A carrier wave of peak voltage \(16 \mathrm{~V}\) is used to transmit a signal. If the modulation index is \(75 \%\), the peak voltage of the modulating signal is \(12 \mathrm{~V}\).
Explanation:
Modulation Index
\((\mathrm{MI})=\frac{\text { Peak voltage of modulating signal }\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{m}}\right)}{\text { Peak voltage of carrier } \operatorname{signal}\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}\right)}\)
Given, \(\mathrm{Ml}=75 \%\) and \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}=16 \mathrm{~V}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{MI} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{75}{100} \times 16=12 \mathrm{~V}\)
