OK Wikipedia has helped.
Could someone confirm this please?
"In rectangular waveguides, rectangular mode numbers are designated by two suffix numbers attached to the mode type, such as TEmn, where m is the number of half-wavelengths across the width of the waveguide and n is the number of half-wavelengths across the height of the waveguide."
Also realized that the EM waves travel within the cavity, through the dielectric (air) & losses (attenuation) are through interaction with the wall & from skin effects.
Generally at the boundary the electric & magnetic fields are zero.
I'm not quite sure as to why the E & H fields should be zero though, except that when there is no E field, then H will also be zero.
