Which outcome occurs within a waveguide bent too sharply?

💡 Explanation

Increased evanescent wave coupling loss occurs, because the sharp bend causes a portion of the wave to tunnel through the waveguide wall via evanescent coupling. Therefore, energy escapes, rather than propagating as intended in straight waveguides.
