Read the paragraph and answer the question 46 to 50 :
Noise may be defined, in an electrical sense, as an unwanted form of energy tending to interfere with the proper and easy reception and reproduction of wanted signals. Many disturbances of the electrical nature produce noise in receiver, modifying the signal in an unwanted manner. Noise is divided into two groups. Noise whose sources are external to the receiver and other one is noise created within the receiver itself. Various forms of noise created outside the receiver i.e. external noise includes atmospheric and extra-terrestrial noise and industrial noise. Atmospheric noise becomes less severe at frequencies above 30 MHz. Extra-terrestrial noises are solar noise and cosmic noise. They radiate over a very broad frequency spectrum which includes the frequencies, we use for communication. These disturbances are at the eruption of corona flares and sunspots. The noise generated is due to the random motion of electrons, atoms and molecules. Kinetic theory states that the temperature of the system increases due to the motion of the particles.
Answer: (A)
