Question:

A message signal of frequency $5 \,kHz$ is used to modulate a carrier signal of frequency $2\, MHz$ The bandwidth for amplitude modulation is:

Updated On: Mar 20, 2025
  • $10 \,kHz$
  • $2.5 \,kHz$
  • $20\, kHz$
  • $5\, kHz$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

1. The bandwidth of amplitude modulation is given by: \[ B = 2 f_m, \] where \(f_m\) is the frequency of the message signal.
2. Substituting \(f_m = 5 \, \text{kHz}\): \[ B = 2 \times 5 = 10 \, \text{kHz}. \]
Thus, the bandwidth is 10 kHz. The bandwidth of an AM signal is twice the frequency of the modulating (message) signal, covering both upper and lower sidebands.

Concepts Used:

Rotational Motion

Rotational motion can be defined as the motion of an object around a circular path, in a fixed orbit.

Rotational Motion Examples:

The wheel or rotor of a motor, which appears in rotation motion problems, is a common example of the rotational motion of a rigid body.

Other examples:

  • Moving by Bus
  • Sailing of Boat
  • Dog walking
  • A person shaking the plant.
  • A stone falls straight at the surface of the earth.
  • Movement of a coin over a carrom board 

Types of Motion involving Rotation:

  1. Rotation about a fixed axis (Pure rotation)
  2. Rotation about an axis of rotation (Combined translational and rotational motion)
  3. Rotation about an axis in the rotation (rotating axis)
