Air is a dielectric material because it contains molecules that can be polarized when placed in an electric field, allowing it to store electric charge and exhibit insulating properties. This property of air as a dielectric material is vital in various electrical and electronic applications.
For an insulating material, the dielectric strength should be high to withstand high voltages without breaking down. Conversely, the dielectric loss should be low to minimize energy loss due to internal friction within the material when subjected to an electric field.
The capacitance will increase. When the volume is filled with a material with a dielectric constant greater than 1, the capacitance of the capacitor increases by a factor equal to the material's dielectric constant. This is because the electric field is effectively reduced within the material, allowing more charge to be stored for the same voltage.
The relationship between the wavelength in a dielectric material and the propagation of electromagnetic waves is that the wavelength of electromagnetic waves decreases when they travel through a dielectric material compared to when they travel through a vacuum. This is due to the slower speed of light in the dielectric material, which causes the waves to be compressed and have a shorter wavelength.
A dielectric material is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. It does not conduct electricity, but it can store electric energy as a result of its polarization. Dielectric materials are commonly used in capacitors to store and release electrical energy.
No, a dielectric and a conductor are two different types of materials. A dielectric is an insulating material that can store and transmit electric energy, while a conductor is a material that allows electricity to pass through it easily.
For an insulating material dielectric strength and dielectric loss should be respectively
Capacitors are named after their dielectrics. So, an 'air capacitor' uses air as its dielectric, a 'mica capacitor' uses mica as its dielectric, and so on. There are lots of different dielectric used to separate the plates of a capacitor, each with different permittivities and dielectric strengths. As the perfect dielectric (i.e. one with both a very high permittivity and a very high dielectric strength) doesn't occur, the choice of dielectric is always a compromise between it permittivity and dielectric strength.
Any dielectric material can be used to separate the two metal plates inside a capacitor. This includes polymer, paper, glass or even air (although air is seldom used now).

No, these are two unrelated properties of a material.

Insulation property of a material
The dielectric constant varies, depending on the material.
