    Carrier Frequency
AI Thread Summary
Voice in AM radio is transmitted through amplitude modulation (AM), which involves varying the amplitude of a carrier frequency to encode audio information. Demodulation is the process of extracting the original voice signal from the modulated carrier wave, typically using a specific carrier frequency. This allows the audio to be heard by listeners, as the carrier frequency must be high enough to effectively transfer the voice signal. Modulation facilitates wireless communication and enables multiple channels to coexist within the same frequency band. Understanding these principles is essential for grasping how AM radio operates.

Good Day,
Can some one tell me any reading about structure of voice?

Things I need to know (in AM radio) amplitude madulation of voice
and also demodulation of it.
When we demodulate it do we use some carrier frequency to so people can hear that?

Thanks

As far as i know we use some carrier frequency because u = λf (u speed λ wavelength and f frequency) so we need a high frequency (small wavelength) carrier to transfer the wave. Also, the equation of the carrier is E = Ec(1 + msinwtm)sinwtc, tmod = modulated , tc = carrier, w = 2πf and m = Emax/Ec.
 
I googled tutorial modulation AM, and got lots of hits. Here's a pretty good description of various AM demodulation techniques.

Modulation is used for the transfer of information for a number of reasons. A couple of the most important are to be able to use radio frequency transfer (modulate to RF frequencies so that you can communicate wirelessly with antennas), and to be able to combine many channels of information into the same communication channel (like how there are many radio channels available in the AM or FM bands all at the same time).
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
