Which outcome arises when a high-frequency electromagnetic wave propagates through a dielectric material within a parallel-plate capacitor?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric materials exhibit polarization when exposed to oscillating electric fields, therefore this causes energy absorption from the high-frequency wave via dielectric losses; rather than increased transmission because material properties induce drag on the electromagnetic propagation.
