![**AM Modulation Problem**
A modulating signal \( m(t) = 10 \cos(2\pi \times 10^3 t) \) is amplitude modulated with a carrier signal \( c(t) = 50 \cos(2\pi \times 10^5 t) \). Find the modulation index, the carrier power, and the power required for transmitting the AM wave.
**Solution Explanation**
1. **Modulation Index (\( \mu \))**: The modulation index is calculated using the formula:
\[
\mu = \frac{A_m}{A_c}
\]
where \( A_m = 10 \) is the amplitude of the modulating signal and \( A_c = 50 \) is the amplitude of the carrier signal.
\[
\mu = \frac{10}{50} = 0.2
\]
2. **Carrier Power (\( P_c \))**: The carrier power is given by:
\[
P_c = \frac{A_c^2}{2R}
\]
Assuming the resistance \( R = 1 \, \Omega \), the carrier power is:
\[
P_c = \frac{50^2}{2 \times 1} = 1250 \, \text{watts}
\]
3. **Total Power in AM Wave (\( P_t \))**: The total power transmitted in an AM wave is:
\[
P_t = P_c \left(1 + \frac{\mu^2}{2}\right)
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
P_t = 1250 \left(1 + \frac{0.2^2}{2}\right) = 1250 \left(1 + \frac{0.04}{2}\right) = 1250 \times 1.02 = 1275 \, \text{watts}
\]
Therefore, the modulation index is 0.2, the carrier power is 1250 watts, and the total power for transmitting the AM wave is 1275 watts.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F43c2fe71-86c2-43ff-9f20-6e0543160d46%2F40ee169a-2064-42fd-9f91-bca85798610e%2F5l06fi_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
