Imagine a particle of mass m confined between two walls at x =
±a. The potential energy of the particle is zero in the box
and infinite at the walls. Because the potential is infinite at the
walls the wavefunction can not penetrate. Like a guitar string
the wavefunction is rigidly pinned down at the ends and can only have
wavelengths that are fractions of 2a. The first two solutions supperimposed
on their eigen values are given at the top.
