Which consequence results when a resonant cavity's dimensions shift during microwave propagation?

💡 Explanation

Frequency detuning and power decrease occurs because changes in cavity dimensions impact the resonant frequency through perturbation theory. This alters boundary conditions, hence the electromagnetic field shifts. Therefore, resonant frequency changes, rather than improved matching otherwise stable harmonic resonance occurs.
