  4. a, b, c & d are true


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In the concept of communication,

(a) Modes of communication are video, audio, face-to-face and text transmission.
(b) Modulation is needed, because original signal doesn't have the power to reach the desired destination, so it is modulated.
(c) Modulation are of different types, as amplitude modulation, frequency modulation and phase modulation etc. 
(d) Detection of modulated wave is done to extract the original signal from modulated wave.

The science of communication involving long distances is known as

  1. mass-communication

  2. distant-communication

  3. tele-communication

  4. trans-communication


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Telecommunication is the transmission of signs, signals, messages, writings, images and sounds or intelligence of any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic systems. Telecommunication occurs when the exchange of information between communication participants includes the use of technology
 It is transmitted either electrically over physical media, such as cables, or via electromagnetic radiations.
20th and 21st century technologies for long-distance communication usually involve electrical and electromagnetic technologies, such as telegraph, telephone, and  radio, fiber optics, and communication satellites.

The useful message that is conveyed during communication is known as

  1. text

  2. electric signal

  3. bytes

  4. information


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Out of the total message, usually a part is conveyed. This part of message is in form of bits called information.

The term channel is used to indicate

  1. the amplitude range allocated to a given source

  2. the frequency range allocated to a given source

  3. the voltage-range allocated to a given source

  4. all of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Channel represents the different frequency ranges over with radio frequencies exist. A change in channel for device would mean a change in range of frequency over which the device is being operated.
