Need Halp with Physics

Okay, here's the problem: Prove that the eigenfunctions for the infinite-well potential u_n(x) = sqrt(2/L)*sin(n*pi*x/L) have the property that... the integral from 0 to L of u_n(x)*u_m(x)*dx = 0 for n=/=m Please tell me someone on teh flodd is a Physics major.

    -blam!- this. Edit: Okay gimme a sec. Convert that shit to cosine. ∫[sqrt(2/L)sin(n*pi*x/L)]*[sqrt(2/L)sin(m*pi*x/L)] dx from 0 to L = constant * ∫cos(bullshit that you can work out) - cos(bullshit but with -m) n=/=m, therefore: constant * integral of that shit = constant * L * [bullshit*sin + (negative bullshit)*sin(with -m) | from 0 to L =0 Whattuppp
