  • The general wave functions for the two-dimensional regular pentagonal quantum box and thin microstrip antenna are derived. As for the square, equilateral triangular, and circular disk-shaped boxes and antennas, there are two quantum nunbers $n$ and $m$. In those cases, $n\ge1 $ and $m\ge 0$ are both unlimited non-negative integers of any value. For the regular pentagon, only $n\ge1 $ is an unlimited positive quantum number, but $m_{\rm min}\le m\le 5$, where $m_{\rm min}=0$ for the pentagonal microstrip antenna with Neumann boundary conditions and $m_{\rm min}=1$ for the pentagonal quantum box with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Color-coded pictures of the wave functions for the regular pentagonal quantum box and microstrip antenna are presented for all allowed $m$ values and for $1\le n\le 2$ and for the microstrip antenna for all allowed $m$ values and $n=3$.
