lPn(x)|2 is the probability of finding the particle at position x in the box. Since the
particle must be somewhere in the box, the integral of this function over the length of the
box must be equal to 1. This is the normalization condition and ensuring that this is the
case is called “normalizing" the wave function.
Find the value of A the amplitude of the wave function, that normalizes it.
Write the normalized wave function for the nth state of the particle in a box.
