Questions and Answers

What is the formula for group velocity and phase velocity?

  • $v_g = c/\sqrt{1 - (2a)}$, $v_p = c/\sqrt{1 - (fc)}$
  • $v_g = c\sqrt{1 - (2a)}$, $v_p = c\sqrt{1 - (fc)}$
  • $v_g = c/2$, $v_p = f^2$
  • $v_g = c$, $v_p = f\lambda$ (correct)

    • What does the cutoff frequency represent in waveguide theory?

  • The frequency at which the phase velocity equals the speed of light.
  • The frequency at which the group velocity becomes half of the speed of light.
  • The frequency at which no higher modes can propagate through the waveguide. (correct)
  • The frequency at which light enters the waveguide.

    • What is the characteristic impedance of a waveguide?

  • $377 \sqrt{1-(fc)}$ (correct)
  • $377\sqrt{1-( \lambda ) / 2a}$
  • $377 / 2 \sqrt{1-(fc)}$
  • $377 / 2 \sqrt{1-( \lambda ) / 2a}$
