Which consequence results when waveguide dimensions prevent propagation?

💡 Explanation

When the waveguide dimensions are too small, fields attenuate exponentially rather than propagating; this is evanescent wave propagation. Therefore, the amplitude exponentially decreases with distance reflecting cutoff conditions, rather than propagating energy, because alternative propagation modes are disallowed in a constrained geometry.
