The cut off wavelength and the guided wavelength are given by 0.5 and 2 units respectively. Find the wavelength of the wave.

Correct Answer: 0.48
The cut off wavelength and the guided wavelength are related as (1/λ)2 = (1/λc)2 + (1/λg)2. On substituting for λc = 0.5 and λg = 2, we get λ = 0.48 units.
