Explain why a plane electromagnetic wave cannot propagate through a metallic waveguide.
I've tried to come up with an answer, but I haven't been able to. I thought metallic waveguides were good since they reflected the propagating wave very well, allowing the wave to move without much loss in power. Am I wrong? Why can't an EM wave propagate through a metallic waveguide?
Many thanks!
