When an electron probes another elementary particle Q, the wave function of the electron can be separated into two independent parts, the first part represents the electronic motion, the second part represents the electromagnetic field mode around the particle Q. In analogy with optical modes TEMnlm for a laser resonator, when the electromagnetic field around the particle Q forms into a mode, the quantum numbers of the mode satisfy the Gell-Mann-Nishijima formula, these quantum numbers are recognized as the charge number, baryon number and strangeness number. The modes are used as a visual model to understand the abstract baryon number and strangeness number of hadrons.
