Which outcome occurs when a dielectric slab is rapidly inserted into a parallel-plate waveguide?

💡 Explanation

Insertion changes the capacitance, which affects wave propagation because a change in refractive index directly leads to an altered TEM wave velocity via Maxwell's relations. Therefore, velocity shifts rather than impedance remaining constant.
