Concept:

  • Attenuation is the process of reducing the strength of signal of particular frequencies but not of removing signal of some frequencies.
  • The term filtering is used to describe the process of removing a certain band of frequencies from a signal and permitting others to be transmitted.
  • The wheat stone bridge can be used to convert a resistance change to a voltage change. 
  • So both the statements are incorrect.
