QJEEM21Ph705e: JEE Main 2021 Physics - Class 12 JEEM21Ph705e Solution: The maximum and minimum amplitude of an amplitude modulated…

The maximum and minimum amplitude of an amplitude modulated wave is 16V and 8V respectively. The modulation index for this amplitude modulated wave is x × 10−2. The value of x is __________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Am=Amax−Amin2

Ac=Amax+Amin2

Modulation index (mi) = AmAc=Amax−Amin2Amax+Amin2=Amax−AminAmax+Amin

mi = 16−816+8=824=13=0.33

mi = 33 × 10−2

∴ x = 33
