Solution
Identify the mathematical expression for amplitude modulated wave `underline((A_c + k_2 v_m (t)) sin (ω_ct + φ))`.
ω
Modulating signal m(t) = Am sin ωct
Carrier signal c(t) = Ac sin ωct
Modulated signal
`c_m (t) = (A_c + A_m sin ω_m t) sin ωt`
`c_m (t) = A_c [1 + A_m/A_c sin ω_m t] sin ω_mt`
`c_m (t) = (A_c + muA_c sin ω_ct)` as `k = muA_c`
`c_m (t) = (A_c + ksin ω_m t) sin ω_mt`
