Which electromagnetic radiation consequence occurs when a waveguide width is below resonance?

A)Wave Impedance transformation occurs
B)Evanescent mode power leakage
C)Waveguide characteristic impedance reduces
D)Propagation constant becomes imaginary

💡 Explanation

An electromagnetic wave cannot propagate because frequencies below the cutoff result in **Total Internal Reflection** inside guide. Therefore, the propagation constant is imaginary, rather than being real, because there is an exponential decay representing a non-propagating mode.
