← ScienceWhich consequence results when a waveguide's dimensions restrict transverse EM wave propagation?
A)Evanescent modes above cutoff✓
B)Increased dielectric material breakdown
C)Enhanced skin depth attenuation
D)Reduced group velocity dispersion
💡 Explanation
Evanescent modes appear because, below the cutoff frequency, wave impedance becomes imaginary; therefore, wave propagation ceases exponentially, rather than energy transferring effectively and propagating freely.
