Question 3 • NC-Physical Science CR 2024

Which type of modulation is used by remote-control toys?

Answer
A
amplitude
B
frequency
C
phase
D
pulse

Explanation

Remote-control toys commonly send commands as timed pulses, with pulse duration or position representing the control signal. This is pulse modulation, so the correct choice is pulse. Amplitude, frequency, and phase modulation instead encode information by changing a carrier wave’s amplitude, frequency, or phase.
