A waveguide is a metal tube that is used to carry radio frequency energy from one place to another. It is commonly used in microwave telecommunications and radar.
A typical waveguide ifor 10,000 Megahertz is about 1" by 0.5 " rectangular cross-section. There are also circular and eliptical waveguides.
The size of the guide depends on the frequency in use. The lower the frequency, the bigger the waveguide. I have seen a waveguide that you could walk around in for 100 Mhz.
Once you get past about 1000Mhz, wire transmission lines become very inefficient, and waveguides are better.

Are gamma rays neutrons?
No, gamma rays are not neutrons. They are electromagnetic rays or electromagnetic energy.
Are neutrinos mediated by electromagnetic interaction?
No, neutrinos are mediated by weak interactions, Photons are mediated by electromagnetic interactions.
How are pinhole cameras and electromagnetic waves relate to each other?
All types of cameras, pinhole and those using optical lenses, use light which is an electromagnetic radiation
What causes the electrons pull on the proton in an atom?
electromagnetic force
What are the types in waveguides?
3 types: 1.electromagentic waveguides 2.optical waveguides 3.acoustic waveguides
What is wave guide?
A waveguide is a structure that guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound waves. There are different types of waveguides for each type of wave.
Why waveguides are used instead of antennas?
waveguides are used instead of coax because at the high microwave frequencies coax would radiate the signal right through its shield. waveguides do not replace antennas.
Applications of a circular waveguides?
attenuators and phaseshifters
Brief explanation about the types of waveguides?
A waveguide is a structure which guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound waves. There are different types of waveguide for each type of wave. The original and most common meaning is a hollow conductive metal pipe used to carry high frequency radio waves, particularly microwaves.Waveguides differ in their geometry which can confine energy in one dimension such as in slab waveguides or two dimensions as in fiber or channel waveguides. In addition, different waveguides are needed to guide different frequencies: an optical fiber guiding light (high frequency) will not guide microwaves (which have a much lower frequency). As a rule of thumb, the width of a waveguide needs to be of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of the guided wave.

What is circular waveguide?
It is a waveguide that is circular. Circular waveguides have modes that are described in terms of Bessel functions instead of the sines/cosines used for rectangular waveguides. The disadvantage is that the two lowest modes have cutoff frequencies spaced by less than an octave. Circular waveguides are used for rotating joints, for example in radar. The H01 mode in circular waveguide was used as a low-loss mode for transmitting signals over distance, but this technique has been replaced by fibre-optic cables.
What is a point to point connection?
depending on requirement either a permanent or disconnectable connection is selected when connectin optical waveguides

Difference between coaxial cable and wave guide?
Waveguides are used at higher frequencies where their loss is lower than coaxial cable. Coaxial cable is used at lower frequencies where waveguides are too large and heavy. Lastly Coaxial cable is also used at higher frequencies where some flexibility is required.
