Question:

Which type of transmission line accepts the Transverse electromagnetic wave?

Show Hint

Rectangular waveguides are specifically designed to support transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves, which have both electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understand the concept of Transverse Electromagnetic Waves (TEM).
Transverse electromagnetic waves have both electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
This type of wave can propagate in specific transmission lines like waveguides.
Step 2: Identify the transmission line types.
Rectangular waveguides are designed to support the propagation of TEM waves.
Coaxial cables and copper cables typically support either TE (Transverse Electric) or TM (Transverse Magnetic) modes rather than the TEM mode.
