Formation energy of a waveguide as a measure of its cutoff frequency

It turns out that the cutoff frequency of a waveguide, multiplied by Planck's constant, and the rest mass of a photon in the waveguide, multiplied by the velocity of light squared, are equal to the work performed in opposition to the radiation-pressure forces of zero-point vacuum fluctuations during the formation of the waveguide from free space.
