A particle is confined within a box with perfectly rigid walls at x = 0 and x = L. Although the magnitude of the instantaneous force exerted on the particle by the walls is infinite and the time over which it acts is zero, the impulse (that involves a product of force and time) is both finite and quantized. Show that the impulse exerted by the wall at x = 0 is (nh/L)i and that the impulse exerted by the wall at x = L is -(nh/L)i.
