Suppose we had a classical particle in a frictionless box, bouncing back and forth at constant speed. The probability density of the position of the particle in soma box of length L is given by: p(x) 0 - (2² (24) 0 x < 0 Asin² (7) 0L a. Sketch the probability density as a function of position b. What must A be in order for p(x) to be normalized? Remember that you are welcome to use resources to solve integrals such as Wolfram Alpha, a table of integrals etc.
