The wavelength of is 1550 nm, and the speed is c = c/1.45arrow_forwardTrue or False. 1. If the propagation constant is complex valued, E and H does not attenuate and are in-phase. 2. In general, when electromagnetic wave propagates in any media, the EM wave does not attenuate and the electric and magnetic fields are out-of-phase.
