In a good conductor the attenuation constant and the phase constant are

  • A.such that the attenuation constant is negligible
  • B.equal to one another
  • C.in the ratio of two to one
  • D.in the ratio of the conductivity to the permittivity

Answer: B

Both come to \( \sqrt{\pi f\mu\sigma} \), so a wave in a conductor loses one neper of amplitude in the same distance as it gains one radian of phase. That distance is the skin depth, and it is why fields scarcely penetrate metal.
