Solution

waveguide.

A waveguide is a structure that guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound waves. There are different types of waveguides for each type of wave. The original and most common meaning is a hollow conductive metal pipe used to carry high frequency radio waves, particularly microwaves.

The magnetron is a type of vacuum tube that generates microwaves through the interaction of a stream of electrons with a magnetic field. This is achieved by confining the electrons to a circular orbit with the help of a magnetic field.

When the magnetron is attached to the waveguide, the microwaves generated by the magnetron are confined to propagate in one dimension along the length of the waveguide. This is because the waveguide acts as a barrier that prevents the microwaves from spreading out in all directions, thus guiding the waves to propagate in a single direction.
