Which consequence results when a waveguide's dimensions narrow?

A)Cutoff frequency increases significantly
B)Wave impedance remains unchanged
C)Group velocity linearly decreases
D)Phase velocity becomes propagation-invariant

💡 Explanation

As waveguide dimensions narrow, the cutoff frequency increases due to the inverse relationship between waveguide size and minimum frequency for wave propagation described by waveguide dispersion; therefore a higher frequency is required, rather than maintaining impedance because the mode changes.
