ANSWER:

Step 1 of  5

We have to work out the theory of  modes for a rectangular waveguide.

Suppose we have a waveguide of rectangular shape (as shown in the fig below), with height
and width
, and we are interested in the propagation of (transverse magnetic) waves.

The problem is to solve the below equations with    and        subjected to the boundary conditions and
