Homework Statement



A particle confined to a cubic box of dimension L the
wavefunction normalization factor is (2/L)^3/2 , the same value for all stationary
states. How is this result changed if the box has edge lengths L1, L2, L3, all of
which are different.


Homework Equations



Normalization condition: 1=∫∫∫P(r)dxdydz


The Attempt at a Solution



I know how the normalization for a cubic box has been determined but I am confused how it should be calculated for a box of unequal sides.
