Shannon weaver model noise – UGC NET Question

The Shannon Weaver model is a foundational linear model of communication developed for telecommunication systems. It includes components such as information source,transmitter,channel,receiver and destination,with noise affecting the signal in the channel. The stem mentions this idea of channel and noise in a linear sequence,which clearly refers to the Shannon Weaver model.

Option A:
Berlo’s SMCR model focuses on source,message,channel and receiver but does not explicitly emphasise noise in the same engineering sense.

Option B:
Shannon Weaver’s contribution was to show how information can be quantified and how noise reduces signal fidelity,making option B correct.

Option C:
Schramm circular models highlight feedback and shared experience,but are not usually described in terms of information source and noise in a simple linear chain.

Option D:
Transactional models portray communication as simultaneous and mutual,rather than as a one-directional sequence from source to destination.
