Given:-

X-Intercept = 3a

Y-Intercept = 4b

Z-Intercept = ∞

To Find:-

Miller Indices

Solution:-

As a, b and c are basis vectors, the proportion of intercepts is 3:4:∞

The reciprocals will be

$$\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}:\frac{1}{∞}$$

Taking LCM and converting into integers we get: 4, 3, 0

Therefore,

Miller Indices are (4 3 0)
