JEE Main 2016 · 10 Apr · Shift 1, Physics question 24

A modulated signal Cm(t)C_m(t) has the form Cm(t)=30sin⁡300πt+10(cos⁡200πt−cos⁡400πt)C_m(t)=30\sin300\pi t+10(\cos200\pi t-\cos400\pi t). The carrier frequency fcf_c, the modulating frequency (message frequency) fωf_\omega, and the modulation index μ are respectively given by :

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: B

cos⁡200πt−cos⁡400πt=2sin⁡300πtsin⁡100πt\cos200\pi t-\cos400\pi t=2\sin300\pi t\sin100\pi t, so
Cm=30sin⁡300πt[1+23sin⁡100πt].C_m=30\sin300\pi t\left[1+\tfrac23\sin100\pi t\right].
So fc=150f_c=150 Hz, fω=50f_\omega=50 Hz and μ=23\mu=\frac23.
