The purpose of this brief note is to present an alternative way of deriving the orthogonality relations for wave modes, by approaching the reciprocity relationship in direct notation, with the tools provided by tensor algebra and analysis. In this way, the classical result of elastodynamics is obtained through the instruments of continuum mechanics.
