ya, it can be negative because as m=Vm/Vc , the value of Vm if taken in negative then modulation index can be naegative
Modulation index is also called as Modulation depth. The modulation index of a modulation scheme describes by how much the modulated variable of the carrier signal varies around its unmodulated level.
how modulation index varies for FM
it causes over modulation .... that is the phase reversal of carrier signal ..... the modulated wave then exhibits envelope distortion which results in loss of data .....
Advantage - 1. Phase modulation & demodulation is easy compared to Frequency modulation. 2. Phase modulator is used in determining velocity of moving target by extracting Doppler information. Doppler information needs stable carrier which is possible in phase modulation but not in frequency modulation. Disadvantage - 1. Phase ambiguity comes if we exceed its modulation index pi radian(180 degree). 2. we need frequency multiplier to increase phase modulation index. Visit my website http://harshit.org
in order to transmit the video signal amplitude modulation is used. the composite video signal has distinct polarity of black and white levels in the picture.1.positive modulation :- in this type of modulation, increase of brightness toward white causes increase in carrier amplitude peak white has 100% modulation while black and sync level have lower and minimum modulation respectively2.negative modulation :-in this type of modulation,the sync tip level are at 100%.blanking level correspond to black is at 75%and increase in brightness toward white causes decrease in carrier amplitudeNegative modulation is preferred over positive modulation because impulse interference is difficult to deal with and random increase in signal is similar to existing sync pulse.these interference result in generation of black spot and white blobs.

The range of modulation index in amplitude modulation (AM) is typically between 0 and 1. A modulation index of 0 indicates no modulation, while a modulation index of 1 represents full modulation where the carrier signal amplitude varies from zero to peak value.

how modulation index varies for FM
Modulation Index is the ratio of the maximum deviation frequency to the frequency of modulation. In other words it is the ratio of the spread in frequency spectrum to the frequency that was used to modulate the carrier. For FM, modulation index is given by the formula mf= df/f where, mf=modulation index for FM df=difference in carrier frequency f=frequency of the signal
In Frequency Modulation (FM), if the modulation frequency is doubled, the modulation index does not necessarily double; it depends on the amplitude of the modulating signal. In Amplitude Modulation (AM), the modulation index is defined as the ratio of the peak amplitude of the modulating signal to the carrier amplitude, so it remains unchanged with varying modulation frequency. For Phase Modulation (PM), similar to FM, the modulation index is influenced by the amplitude of the modulating signal and does not inherently double with the modulation frequency. Thus, modulation frequency and modulation index are not directly linked in this way for FM, PM, or AM.
The values of amplitude modulation index is categorized as an objective type.
The modulation index formula in frequency modulation (FM) is given by the equation: β = Δf / fm, where β is the modulation index, Δf is the peak frequency deviation, and fm is the modulating frequency. Modulation index indicates how much the carrier frequency is being varied by the modulating signal in FM.
fc>2fm
frequency modulation..
the modulation system is of FM
It can be anything at all, from yoctowatts to terawatts. You must state the power output at some modulation index before I can calculate it for some other modulation index. By the way . . . the answer also depends on the method of modulation, which you have not mentioned. For example, with pure FM, the transmitted power doesn't change, regardless of the mod-index.
