Which outcome occurs when a higher dielectric material fills a parallel plate waveguide at frequencies near cutoff?

💡 Explanation

Reduced wave impedance results because adding a higher dielectric material alters the waveguide's *capacitance per unit length*; rather than increase velocity, the increased capacitance causes a lower impedance because impedance relates to capacitance inversely therefore influencing wave propagation characteristics.
