Generation, propagation and detection of electromagnetic waves is the basis of

  1. lasers

  2. reactors

  3. radio and television

  4. computer
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The communication and broadcasting following the base on generation, propagation, and detection of electromagnetic waves.

The electromagnetic spectrum describes a different range of electromagnetic waves. These EM waves are a special type of wave that can travel without a medium.

Electromagnetic waves are named like this due to the fact that they have both an electric and a magnetic component. In a vacuum, EM waves always travel at the same speed i.e. the speed of light. So, other EM waves besides light are infrared, ultraviolet, radio waves, and microwaves. Therefore radio and television both are based on EM wave properties. Other options like lasers, reactors, and computers are not guided by EM waves.

Thus the correct option is C.

During the process of modulation the RF wave is called

  1. Modulating wave

  2. Modulated wave

  3. Carrier wave

  4. Audio wave
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Signals which need to be transferred are superimposed on high frequency wave, which is called carrier wave, as the name suggests it carries the signals.

A transducer used at the transmitting end, serves the purpose of converting

  1. electrical signal to sound form

  2. sound signal to electrical form

  3. electrical signal to magnetic form

  4. sound signal to magnetic form
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The message from the information source may not be in electrical form, so to convert these information, i.e., in form of sound to electrical form, a transducer like a microphone is used.

Reception of information involves

  1. decoding of signal.

  2. storage of signal.

  3. interpretation of signal.

  4. all of the above.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The received signals is either AM or FM so it needs to be demodulated, ie., decoded to get back original signal. It also needs to be stored and interpreted at receiving end.

Main function of the RF amplifiers in a superheterodyne receiver is to

  1. amplify signal

  2. reject unwanted signal

  3. discriminate against image frequency signal and IF-signal

  4. all of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A superheterodyne receiver is a type of radio receiver that uses frequency mixing to convert a received signal to a fixed intermediate frequency (IF) which can be more conveniently processed than the original carrier frequency.

The antenna collects the radio signal. The tuned RF stage with optional RF amplifier provides some initial selectivity, and may also serve to prevent strong out-of-passband signals from saturating the initial amplifier.A local oscillator provides the mixing frequency; it is usually a variable frequency oscillator which is used to tune the receiver to different stations. The frequency mixer does the actual heterodyning, it changes the incoming radio frequency signal to a higher or lower, fixed, intermediate frequency(IF). The IF band pass filter and amplifier supply most of the gain and the narrowband filtering for the radio. The demodultor extracts the audio or other modulation from the IF radio frequency; the extracted signal is then amplified by the audio amplifier.

"Man-made" noise can come from:

  1. equipment that sparks

  2. temperature

  3. static

  4. all of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Man-made noise is a noise created due to wear and tear of electrical machinery used in transmission systems. They are due to the type of amplifiers (class B) type of pulses (wideband pulses), often caused by ignition circuits, lightning, and switching elements causing spark gaps
