What does it mean when we say signal is 20% modulated or 40% modulated? Need detailed explanation. Also i want to know what happens when signal is overmodulated?

The accepted answer is also incorrect about overmodulation, and this is a product of using a nice simulation, and no understanding. gbarry gave a correct answer. – Henry Crun Apr 18 '18 at 08:37

If carrier (RF) signal is 10V, when the audio modulation is 0V, then 20% modulation means 12V (RF) on +ve modulation peaks and 8V (RF) on negative (audio) modulation peaks.
Overmodulation ,means that on negative modulation peaks the carrier goes hits 0
