Which field pattern results when a waveguide's frequency drops?

💡 Explanation

When a frequency drops below the cutoff, propagation stops. An evanescent wave field appears because the waveguide’s dimensions cannot support wave propagation at that frequency; therefore, energy decays exponentially, rather than freely propagating.
