Which outcome results when a waveguide's physical dimensions are reduced so that wave's wavelength is longer than waveguide?

💡 Explanation

Evanescent wave behavior occurs because waveguide cutoff prevents propagation when the free space wavelength exceeds the guide's dimension, therefore energy exponentially decays rather than propagating conventionally because complete internal reflection fails.
