We present a detailed analysis of the incident-photon-energy and polarization dependences of the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra at the Cu K edge in La2CuO4. Our analysis is based on the formula developed by Nomura and Igarashi, which describes the spectra by a product of an incident-photon-dependent factor and a density-density correlation function for 3d states. We calculate the former factor using the 4p density of states from an ab-initio band structure calculation and the latter using a multiorbital tight-binding model within the Hartree-Fock approximation and the random phase approximation. We obtain spectra with rich structures in the energy-loss range 2-5 eV, which vary with varying momentum and incident-photon energy, in semi-quantitative agreement with recent experiments. We clarify the origin of such changes as a combined effect of the incident-photon-dependent factor and the density-density correlation function.
