← ScienceWhich consequence occurs in a non-uniform waveguide because an electromagnetic wave propagates?
A)Increased signal propagation velocity
B)Backscattering of signal energy✓
C)Reduced characteristic impedance mismatch
D)Enhanced dielectric breakdown strength
💡 Explanation
Backscattering occurs because impedance changes along the waveguide induce reflections through Fresnel reflection, therefore signal energy is redirected rather than being perfectly transmitted; improved transmission and breakdown strength imply incorrect behavior.
