Abstract
In this paper a general theoretical analysis of the average photon path length between two consecutive photon reflections from the cavity walls has been presented. The presented analysis relies only on the energy conservation law and the assumption of the uniform photon distribution within the cavity volume. The obtained general result coincides with the solution previously obtained but under more stringent conditions.
