← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a dielectric slab is rapidly inserted into a parallel-plate waveguide?
A)TEM wave velocity changes✓
B)Wave impedance is unchanged
C)Cutoff frequency remains constant
D)Characteristic mode order decreases
💡 Explanation
Insertion changes the capacitance, which affects wave propagation because a change in refractive index directly leads to an altered TEM wave velocity via Maxwell's relations. Therefore, velocity shifts rather than impedance remaining constant.
