$AM$ (Amplitude Modulation) is used for broadcasting because

  • A
    It is more noise immune than other modulation systems
  • B
    It requires less transmitting power compared with other systems
  • C
    Its use avoids receiver complexity
  • D
    No other modulation system can provide the necessary bandwidth for faithful transmission

Given below are two statements
Statement $I:$ For transmitting a signal,the size of the antenna $(l)$ should be comparable to the wavelength of the signal (at least $l = \frac{\lambda}{4}$ in dimension).
Statement $II:$ In amplitude modulation,the amplitude of the carrier wave remains constant (unchanged).
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

$A$ carrier wave of amplitude $15\,V$ is modulated by a sinusoidal baseband signal of amplitude $3\,V$. The ratio of maximum amplitude to minimum amplitude in an amplitude modulated wave is:

$A$ $TV$ transmitting antenna is $98\,m$ high and the receiving antenna is at the ground level. If the radius of the earth is $6400\,km$,the surface area covered by the transmitting antenna is approximately $.........\,km^2$
