The reason for AM signals to be easily detectable than FM signals in hills and high rise building areas.
Answer to Problem 11Q
Solution:
AM signals can be detected more easily than FM signal.
Explanation of Solution
Amplitude modulated (AM)waves can travel for longer distances as they can adapt its direction to accommodate the changes in the atmosphere (ionosphere).On the other hand, in FM signal the frequency of carrier waves varies and the signal strength remains the same. The signal is transmitted from one point to other hand thus it can be blocked by hills and tall buildings. Therefore, AM signals can be detected more easily than FM signal.
