Question:

In amplitude modulation, if a message signal of 5 kHz is modulated by a carrier wave of frequency 900 kHz, then the frequencies of the side bands are

Show Hint

In amplitude modulation (AM), always remember the sidebands are located at the carrier frequency plus and minus the message frequency.

  • 905 kHz, 895 kHz
  • 900 kHz, 800 kHz
  • 800 kHz, 700 kHz
  • 1000 kHz, 900 kHz

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Identify the given values
Message signal frequency \( f_m = 5 \text{ kHz} \)
Carrier frequency \( f_c = 900 \text{ kHz} \) Step 2: Apply amplitude modulation sideband formula
In AM, the sidebands are: \[ f_c + f_m = 900 + 5 = 905 \text{ kHz (Upper Side Band)} \] \[ f_c - f_m = 900 - 5 = 895 \text{ kHz (Lower Side Band)} \] Step 3: State the sideband frequencies
The two sideband frequencies are \( \boxed{905 \text{ kHz and } 895 \text{ kHz}} \)
