 timbre
 inverse square law
2. If the velocity of sound at 0 is 332m/s, calculate
velocity and wavelength of sound of 400Hz at
20c
3. Draw the circuit diagram of class B push pull
amplifier and explain it . Derive the equation of
efficiency of it. Also explain all distortion
regarding class B amplifier.
Chapter 2 4. List the microphone used in audio devices and
explain any two in detail. Also classify all
microphones according to their application.
5. Write the principle of loudspeaker and explain it.
Also write the characteristics that decides quality
of operation of loudspeaker and explain it. Also
write significance of Enclousers.
6. What is directional response of loudspeaker and
microphones? Describe the general procedure of
measuring the directivity of loudspeaker?
7. What is frequency response of loudspeaker and
microphone? Describe the general procedure of
measuring the frequency response of
loudspeaker?
8. why a single loudspeaker can not have a flat
response for the whole audio frequency range?
Design two way cross over nework to give 12dB
per octave woofer for a critical cutoff frequency
of 500Hz .loudspeaker resistance is 8ohm.
Chapter 3 9. What is digital audio compression? Why it is
used? Describe a different format of it.

Chapter 4 10. What is interlaced scanning? How it is done?

What are its merits over simple (progressive)
scanning?
 11. Give Reason.
a. Vertical sync pulse is serrated.
b. Pre and Post equalizing pulses are added in the
composite video signal

12. Sketch the picture signal details of three scanning

lines with different average brightness level and
explain the following terms:
a. Peak white level
b. Black level
c. Blanking level
d. DC level
e. Pedestal height
f. sync pulse

13. Sketch the 7 Mhz. bandwidth allotted to each

channel. Why VSB type of transmission is chosen
over DSB or SSB type?

14. What is video signal? Draw and explain

horizontal and vertical sync in detail.

15. Draw the block diagram of color TV transmitter

and explain each blocks in detail.
16. Draw VSB channel of 7Mhz.and show the
position of various carriers. Why VSB chosen for
transmission?

17. State the differences between positive and

negative modulation.
18. Draw and explain The Composite Video Signal in
detail.

Chapter 5 19. Explain video compression.

Chapter 6 20. Justice the choice of 625 lines for TV

transmission. Why the total number of lines kept
odd in all television systems. Explain briefly
interlaced scanning with necessary waveforms.

21. What is the main difference between monochrome

and colour TV transmitter. Draw a simplified
block diagram of monochrome TV transmitter and
label all the blocks

22. Sketch the details of horizontal blanking and sync

 pulses. Label on it (i) front porch, (ii) horizontal
sync pulse (iii) back porch and (iv) visible line
(picture information) periods.

23. Why is the front porch and back porch intervals

provided before and after the horizontal sync
pulse?

24. Show that a total channel bandwidth of 7 MHz is

necessary for successful transmission of both
picture and sound signals in the 625 line TV
system.

25. Sketch frequency distribution of the channel and

mark the location of picture and sound signal
carrier frequencies. Why is the sound carrier
located 5.5 MHz away from the picture carrier?

26. Draw the dimension of video signal and explain it

in detail Also explain all kind of synchronization
in detail.

Chapter 7 27. What is steareophony?explain stereophonic

system.

28. Write short note on: 1 HDTV 2. 3DTV.
