For an amplitude modulated wave,the maximum and minimum amplitudes are $12 \,V$ and $3 \,V$ respectively. Then the modulation index is

Ground waves are polarized in which direction?

In amplitude modulation of waves,the maximum amplitude is $30 \text{ mV}$ and minimum amplitude is $5 \text{ mV}$,then the modulation index is

We do not transmit low frequency signals to long distances because:
$(a)$ The size of the antenna should be comparable to signal wavelength,which is impractical for a signal of longer wavelength.
$(b)$ Effective power radiated by a long wavelength baseband signal would be high.
$(c)$ We want to avoid mixing up signals transmitted by different transmitters simultaneously.
$(d)$ Low frequency signals can be sent to long distances by superimposing them with a high frequency wave.
Therefore,the most suitable options are:

In an amplitude modulation,a modulating signal having amplitude of $X$ Volt is superimposed with a carrier signal of amplitude $Y$ Volt in the first case. In the second case,the same modulating signal is superimposed with a different carrier signal of amplitude $2Y$ Volt. The ratio of the modulation index in the two cases respectively will be:
