Problem 2.3 – Griffith’s Intro to QM

Problem 2.3

Show that there is no acceptable solution to the (time-independent) Schrödinger equation for the infinite square well with E=0 or E<0. (This is a special case of the general theorem in Problem 2.2, but this time do it by explicitly solving the Schrödinger equation, and showing that you cannot satisfy the boundary conditions.)
