a=2.286mm, b=1.016mm, m=1 and n=0 ,thus we have
Similarly we can calculate for other modes
Example

TE10 6.562 GHz
TE20 13.123GHz
TE01 14.764GHz
TE11 16.156GHz
TE10TE20 TE01
TE11
6.562GHz 13.123GHz14.764GHz 16.156GHz
Frequency 10Ghz is propagating in TE10.mode since this frequency is below the 13.123GHz (TE20) and above 6.561GHz (TE10)
