I am studying about the cavity radiation inside a metallic cube. In the textbook it states that there are two independent waves corresponding to the two possible states of polarization of electromagnetic waves. What does it mean by this? (My current assumption is the phase change of the waves)
It's stated in the last sentence before the equation (1-11). The textbook is "Quantum Physics of Atoms, Molecules, Solids, Nuclei, and Particles" by Eisberg R. and Resnick R. if it helps. I'm don't understand on the need to multiply by a factor of 2.
