← ScienceWhich electromagnetic interference increases when a waveguide narrows?
A)Cutoff frequency is significantly elevated✓
B)Reactive loading of driving amplifiers increases
C)Non-linear harmonic mode excitation decreases
D)Spurious conduction banding abruptly diminishes
💡 Explanation
Cutoff frequency increases because reducing the physical dimension increasingly constrains electromagnetic wave mode propagation; therefore only higher frequencies propagate, rather than lower frequencies which encounter increased attenuation near the constriction.
