Worked Example 2.5
For the dominant mode propagated in an air filled circular
waveguide, the cut off wavelength is 10 cm. Find (i) the
required size or cross sectional area of the guide and (ii) the
frequencies that can be used for this mode of propagation

Exercise Problem 2.2
A rectangular waveguide has a = 4 cm and b = 3 cm as
its sectional dimensions. Find all the modes which will
propagate at 5000 MHz.
Hint:
The condition for the wave to propagate is that
