← ScienceWhich field pattern results when a waveguide's frequency drops?
A)Evanescent wave field appearance✓
B)Increased energy impedance matching
C)Dominant mode cutoff frequency shift
D)Decreased signal group velocity
💡 Explanation
When a frequency drops below the cutoff, propagation stops. An evanescent wave field appears because the waveguide’s dimensions cannot support wave propagation at that frequency; therefore, energy decays exponentially, rather than freely propagating.
