Q78 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (10 Jan Shift 2) · Physics

The modulation frequency of an AM radio station is 250kHz, which is 10% of the carrier wave. If another AM station approaches you for license what broadcast frequency will you allot?

  • A
    2750 kHz
  • Correct answer
    B
    2000 kHz
  • C
    2250 kHz
  • D
    2900kHz

Solution

Carrier wave frequency =250×10=2500 kHz

Frequency used 2500±250k Ω=2250 kHz to 2750 kHz

The allotted frequency showed be such that f±250 kHz should not overlap with previous one. Hence possible frequency =2000 kHz

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