When a waveguide's operational frequency reduces conductivity, which consequence of wave propagation results within?

💡 Explanation

Reduced frequency leads to increased attenuation because waveguide dimensions no longer effectively support mode propagation; this phenomenon is known as the waveguide cutoff frequency causing exponential energy loss, therefore, attenuation increases, rather than perfect transmission at lower frequencies.
