Problem

Find the characteristic frequencies for sound vibration in a rectangular box (say a room) of sides aa, bb, cc. HintHint: Separate the wave equation in three dimensions in rectangular coordinates. This problem is like Problem 3 but for three dimensions instead of two. Discuss degeneracy (see Problem 3).
