Reflected packet

Use the method of stationary phase to consider the behavior of the reflected packet. In particular, determine the time at which the center of the reflected pack returns to the point . From and the speed of the center of the packet, determine the effective point of reflection . Is there any appreciable spreading of the reflected packet beyond what you would expect from the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle?
