Question
Explain the role of modulation.
✓
Answer
- Low frequency signals cannot be transmitted over large distances. Because of this, a high frequency wave, called a carrier wave, is used.
- Some characteristic (e.g. amplitude, frequency or phase) of this wave is changed in accordance with the amplitude of the signal. This process is known as modulation.
- Modulation also helps avoid mixing up of signals from different transmitters as different carrier wave frequencies can be allotted to different transmitters.
- Without the use of these waves, the audio signals, if transmitted directly by different transmitters, would have got mixed up.

A ball of mass $100\ g$ dropped on the ground from $5\ m$ bounces repeatedly. During every bounce $64 \%$ of the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Calculate the following:
(a) Coefficient of restitution.
(b) Speed with which the ball comes up from the ground after third bounce.
(c) Impulse given by the ball to the ground during this bounce.
(d) Average force exerted by the ground if this impact lasts for $250\ ms$.
(e) Average pressure exerted by the ball on the ground during this impact if contact area of the ball is $0.5\ cm^2$.
