प्रश्न
Why is frequency modulation preferred over amplitude modulation for transmission of music?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Frequency modulation gives a better quality of transmission because it has a larger bandwidth and is relatively immune to noise. The transmission of information of FM signal is in the form of frequency variations. Therefore, the atmospheric noise causes little harm to it. Frequency modulation is, therefore, preferred over amplitude modulation for transmission of music.
