The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the sounds A and B, we need to analyze the properties of sound, specifically amplitude and frequency.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Identify the Properties of Sound**:
- Sound has two main properties that we need to consider: amplitude and frequency.
- Amplitude affects the loudness of the sound, while frequency affects the pitch of the sound.
2. **Given Information**:
- Both sounds A and B have the same amplitude, which means they will have the same loudness.
- Sound A has a frequency of \( f \) and sound B has a frequency of \( 2f \).
3. **Analyze Loudness**:
- Since both sounds have the same amplitude, they will be perceived as having the same loudness. Therefore, we can conclude that:
- **B is not louder than A**. This eliminates option 4.
4. **Analyze Pitch**:
- Frequency determines the pitch of the sound. A higher frequency results in a higher pitch (more shrill sound).
- Since the frequency of sound B (which is \( 2f \)) is greater than the frequency of sound A (which is \( f \)), we can conclude that:
- **Sound B is more shrill than sound A**.
5. **Determine Quality of Sound**:
- The term "grave" refers to a lower pitch sound, while "shrill" refers to a higher pitch sound.
- Therefore, since B has a higher frequency, it will be shriller, and A, having a lower frequency, will be grave.
6. **Conclusion**:
- From the analysis, we can conclude that:
- Sound B is shrill, and sound A is grave.
- Thus, the correct option is that B is shrill and A is grave.
### Final Answer:
**Option 3 is correct: B is shrill, A is grave.**

The efficient transmission of signals is achieved by superimposing electrical audio signals on a high frequency carrier wave (the process is known as modulation). When the amplitude of high frequency carrier wave is changed in accordance with the intensity of modulating signal, it is called amplitude modulation. The extent to which the amplitude of carrier wave is changed by the signal is described by modulation factor. It is given as m="Amplitude change of carrier wave"/"Amplitude of unmodulated carrier wave" Let a carrier wave is represented by V_c=V_c cos omega_ct Let the modulation factor be m, the maximum change in amplitude of carrier wave is mV_c So, modulating signal can be represented as v_m=mV_c cosomega_mt So, the amplitude of modulated wave is =V_c+mV_c cosomega_m t Using this value, the instantaneous voltage of modulated wave is E=V_c cos omega_c t+ (mV_c)/2 cos (omega_c+omega_m)t + (mV_c)/2 cos (omega_c-omega_m ) t The above wave contains three frequencies namely, f_c, f_c+f_m and f_c-f_m .
