Hi everyone
I have some trouble understanding quantum physics. Here is a scan from the book from Eisberg and Resnick
Here is how much I understand. This is radiation inside cubical cavity, λx/2 is distance from two nodes of component x of the radiation.
Same goes for y and z components. In the picture they've connected the nodes together to make a plane. I understand that.
Next if you could take a look at the equation below, that I marked in red.
2a/λ should be an integer number, isn't it? If that's so, how can we have nx, ny, nz also integers?What is the reason that we didn't choose 2a/λx, 2a/λy, 2a/λz to be integer value instead of 2a/λ?
