The ratio of the RMS value of additional frequency components in output to the RMS value of the original output of the amplifier is called __________

Correct Answer: Intermodulation distortion
The ratio of the RMS value of additional frequency components in output to the RMS value of the original output of the amplifier is known as intermodulation distortion. These additional frequency components can be harmonics, as well as sums and differences of the original frequencies, as well as the sum and differences of the harmonics.
