🔍 Key Concepts

• Velocity factor in transmission lines (often used with coaxial cable) • Relationship between wave propagation speed in a cable and speed of light in a vacuum • How line construction (dielectric material) affects signal speed

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is velocity factor comparing two impedances, two velocities, or something else? • Think about what quantity could reasonably be expressed as a simple ratio between a transmission line and free space. • For each option, decide whether multiplying or dividing by the speed of light makes physical sense for a factor that is usually less than 1.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that a factor is typically a dimensionless ratio, not a product with units. • Recall that signals in a cable travel slower than light in a vacuum, so the factor should usually be less than 1. • Check which option correctly describes a ratio of speeds, not impedances or shielding.
