Answer briefly.

Why high-frequency carrier waves are used for the transmission of audio signals?

टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

An audio signal has a low frequency (< 20 kHz) and low-frequency signals cannot be transmitted over large distances. Because of this, high-frequency carrier waves are used for transmission.
