Which outcome occurs when waveguide dimensions reduce below cut-off frequency?

💡 Explanation

Waveguides do not permit propagation below their cut-off frequency; the incident wave gets attenuated exponentially because the evanescent mode establishes but decays along the guide rather than propagating. Therefore, attenuation dominates, rather than capacitive effects or heat-related phenomena under cutoff conditions.
