A modulation index of 0.5 would be same as Modulation depth is typically the modulation index expressed as a percentage of the figure. Thus a modulation index of 0.5 is expressed as a modulation depth of 50%. However, often the two terms and figures may be used interchangeably.
- What does the modulation index of 0.5 refer to?
- When the modulation index of an AM wave is increased from 0.5 to 1 the transmission power?

What does the modulation index of 0.5 refer to?
The interpretation of the modulation index, m, may be expressed as: The fraction (percentage if multiplied by 100) of the carrier amplitude that it varies by. If m = 0.5, the carrier amplitude varies by 50 % above and below its original value.
When the modulation index of an AM wave is increased from 0.5 to 1 the transmission power?
The transmitted power is. Increased by 50 percent.
What is the value of modulation index?
Its value is generally kept less than 1 for practical purposes to avoid over modulation which leads to distortions in the modulated signal and then makes it very hard to demodulate and extract the modulating signal.
