Q75 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (31 Jan Shift 2) · Physics

Given below are two statements

Statement I : For transmitting a signal, size of antenna (l) should be comparable to wavelength of signal (at least l =λ4 in dimension).

Statement II : In amplitude modulation, amplitude of carrier wave remains constant (unchanged).

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

  • A
    Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  • B
    Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  • C
    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  • Correct answer
    D
    Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Solution

In amplitude modulation frequency of carrier wave remains unchanged. Minimum size of antenna should be 14th of wavelength so that the antenna can sense the variations of the signal properly.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
