Which phenomenon occurs when a waveguide's dimensions approach wavelengths?

💡 Explanation

Evanescent mode propagation occurs because below the cutoff frequency, wave behavior changes within the waveguide; therefore, the wave decays exponentially rather than propagating, because it lacks the momentum to oscillate freely.
