Which outcome occurs when a dielectric fills a waveguide operating near cutoff?

A)Impedance matching is greatly improved
B)Evanescent mode propagation is reduced
C)Group velocity of waves increases
D)Power handling capability decreases significantly

💡 Explanation

Evanescent mode propagation reduces because introducing the dielectric increases capacitance; the cutoff frequency decreases due to changed permittivity via dielectric polarization. Therefore, fewer frequencies propagate evanescently, rather than other impedence or velocity changes, which result from different factors.
