Which outcome occurs when a pulsed electromagnetic wave encounters a metamaterial exhibiting negative permittivity?

💡 Explanation

A negative permittivity metamaterial influences wave propagation because its refractive index is negative. The **phase velocity** is energy transmission decreases, therefore group velocity is also negative rather than positive, under similar conditions. This results in backward wave propagation.
