The discussion centers on the decomposition of electromagnetic (EM) waves into axis components within a Rayleigh-Jeans cube framework. The formulas for wavelength in the x and y directions, given as $$\lambda_x = \frac{L}{n_x}$$ and $$\lambda_y = \frac{L}{n_y}$$, highlight the challenge of fitting integer values into the cube, specifically with parameters $$n_x=4$$ and $$n_y=3$$. The necessity for the wave equation to satisfy Maxwell's equations is emphasized, alongside the boundary conditions that dictate field behavior at the cube's edges, confirming the validity of the provided formulas.
