In amplitude modulation,the modulation index $m$ is kept less than or equal to $1$ because

  • A
    $m > 1$ will result in interference between carrier frequency and message frequency,resulting in distortion.
  • B
    $m > 1$ will result in overlapping of both sidebands,resulting in the loss of information.
  • C
    $m > 1$ will result in a change in phase between the carrier signal and the message signal.
  • D
    $m > 1$ indicates the amplitude of the carrier signal is greater than the amplitude of the message signal,resulting in distortion.

An amplitude modulated wave is represented by the expression $v_{m}=5(1+0.6 \cos 6280 t) \sin (211 \times 10^{4} t) \; V$. The minimum and maximum amplitudes of the amplitude modulated wave are,respectively:
