For an amplitude modulated wave, the maximum and minimum amplitudes are $12 \mathrm{~V}$ and $3 \mathrm{~V}$ respectively. Then the modulation index is
  1. 0.4
  2. 0.9
  3. 0.6
  4. 0.3

Solution

Given, $\mathrm{V}_{\max }=12 \mathrm{~V}$ and $\mathrm{V}_{\min }=3 \mathrm{v}$ modulation index, $\mu=\frac{V_{\max }-V_{\min }}{V_{\max }+V_{\min }}$ $=\frac{12-3}{12+3}=\frac{9}{15}=0.6$
