← ScienceWhich consequence results when a cable's capacitance increases during electromagnetic wave propagation?
A)Impedance mismatch causes signal reflection✓
B)Skin effect diminishes transmission efficiency
C)Faraday rotation alters wave polarization
D)Increased cable inductance boosts signal gain
💡 Explanation
Signal reflection occurs because an increased capacitance causes impedance mismatch along the transmission line; therefore, energy is reflected back towards the source rather than being fully transmitted, rather than signal gain boosting via increasing cable inductance.
