A sinusodial carrier wave has amplitude 12 volts and frequency 600 kHz.
The frequency of the carrier wave changes by 25 kHz per volt.
The carrier wave is to be used for the transmission of a signal of frequency 3 kHz and amplitude 2 volts.

For the frequency modulated carrier wave, state

1) the amplitude
2) the maximum frequency
3) the minimum frequency
4) the number of times per second that the frequency of the carrier wave changes from the maximum to minimum and then back to maximum value.

f=1/T



1) 12volts i believe since carrier wave doesn't change amplitude in frequency modulation
2) I believe it should occur when the information signal has maximum displacement b/c disp of the signal is varying in synchrony with frequency. But i don't know how to fine it

3)Maybe at minimum disp of signal.
4)No idea at all.

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
