Why are carrier waves needed for low-frequency messages?
ATo reduce the message power
BTo slow down the signal
CTo make transmission practical
DTo cut the receiver cost
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. To make transmission practical
A message of very low frequency cannot be sent directly with a reasonable antenna, so a high-frequency carrier is used.
