State TRUE or FALSE for the following.

(i) A sine wave with a phase of 180° starts at time 0 with a zero amplitude. The amplitude is decreasing.

(ii) If a signal changes instantaneously, its frequency is zero.

(iii) In bipolar encoding, we use three voltage levels: positive, negative and zero.

(iv) Infrared signals can be used for short-range communication in a closed area using ground propagation.

  1. A.

    (i) TRUE, (ii) FALSE, (iii) TRUE, (iv) FALSE

  2. B.

    (i) TRUE, (ii) TRUE, (iii) TRUE, (iv) FALSE

  3. C.

    (i) FALSE, (ii) TRUE, (iii) FALSE, (iv) FALSE

  4. D.

    (i) TRUE, (ii) TRUE, (iii) FALSE, (iv) FALSE

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

The correct option is A.

  • (i) A 180o phase shift inverts a sine wave; at t=0, it starts at 0 and goes negative (amplitude decreases). (TRUE)

  • (ii) Instantaneous changes imply infinite frequency, not zero. (FALSE)

  • (iii) Bipolar encoding uses positive, negative, and zero volts. (TRUE)

  • (iv) Infrared uses line-of-sight propagation, not ground propagation. (FALSE)
