    Is less prone to interference than AM. However, FM signals are impacted by physical barriers.

    • AM

    • Amplitude

    • Period

    • FM

    Correct Answer
    A. FM
    Explanation
    FM stands for Frequency Modulation, which is a method of transmitting signals. FM is less prone to interference than AM because it uses changes in frequency to transmit information, rather than changes in amplitude like AM. This means that FM signals are less affected by factors such as electrical noise or atmospheric disturbances. However, FM signals can still be impacted by physical barriers such as buildings or mountains, which can cause signal loss or distortion.

    Correct Answer
    A. Amplitude
    Explanation
    Amplitude is a measure of the maximum displacement or strength of a radio wave. It represents the height or intensity of the wave and is typically measured in volts. A higher amplitude indicates a stronger signal or a larger magnitude of the wave, while a lower amplitude suggests a weaker signal or a smaller magnitude. Therefore, amplitude is the correct answer as it accurately describes the measure of the value of a radio wave in volts.
