Why TEM waves cannot propagate in a wavwguide?

In a waveguide, transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves cannot propagate because they require both electric and magnetic field components to be present and perpendicular to the direction of propagation. In a waveguide, the fields are constrained to be transverse to the direction of propagation, which is not possible for a pure TEM wave.


Can S waves be transmitted though water or air?

S waves cannot be transmitted through water as they require a solid medium to propagate. However, S waves can travel through air, but they do so at a much slower speed compared to in a solid medium.


Which type of waves cannot be transmitted through vacuum?

Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) to travel and cannot propagate through a vacuum. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.


Can compression waves be transmitted through a vacuum of space?

no the only waves that can go through space is the electromagnetic waves and it doesnt need sound or matter to travel.compressional waves have to come off of something and travel{like sound} it cant travel because there is nothing to travel through.the vacuum of space is just nothing and only light can go through as well, but it takes time.


What earth layer are s waves not transmitted?

S waves are not transmitted through the Earth's outer core because it is liquid, and S waves cannot travel through liquids. This creates a shadow zone on the opposite side of the Earth from an earthquake where S waves are not detected.

Why do S waves stop when they reach the outer core?

What is a waveguide when referring to electromagnetism?

A Waveguide when referring to electromagnetism can point to any linear structure that transports electromagnetic waves in between the endpoints of the structure.


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 waveguide use high energy of source for the transmission?

A waveguide is a structure that guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound, with minimal loss of energy by restricting the transmission of energy to one direction. Without the physical constraint of a waveguide, wave intensities decrease according to the inverse square law as they expand into three dimensional space.

What transmits a sound through solid?

Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.


How are signals transmitted?

Analog signals are transmitted as electrical waves.
