Functions of the form sin(nx/L) can be used to model the wavefunctions of electrons in a carbon

Question:

Functions of the form sin(nπx/L) can be used to model the wavefunctions of electrons in a carbon nanotube of length L. Show that the wavefunctions sin(nπx/L) and sin(mπx/L), where n≠m, are orthogonal for a particle confined to the region 0 ≤x≤L.
