For an amplitude modulated wave the minimum amplitude is 3 V, while the modulation index is 60%. The maximum amplitude of the modulated wave is:

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 5 V
  • B 12 V
  • C 10 V
  • D 15 V

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

In the case of Amplitude Modulation, the modulation index (µ) can also be represented as:

μ=Amax−AminAmax+Amin

where:

  • Amax⁡A_{\max} is the maximum amplitude of the modulated wave,
  • Amin⁡A_{\min} is the minimum amplitude of the modulated wave.

Given that the modulation index is 60% or 0.6 and the minimum amplitude Amin⁡A_{\min} is 3 V, we can rearrange this formula to solve for the maximum amplitude Amax⁡A_{\max} :

0.6=Amax−3Amax+3

Solving this equation gives:

Amax=12V

So, the correct answer is 12 V.
