We calculate the chameleon field profile, confined between two parallel plates, in the chameleon field theory with Ratra-Peebles self-interaction potential with index n = 1. We give the exact analytical solution in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions, depending on the mass density of the ambient matter. The obtained analytical solution can be used in qBounce experiments, measuring transition frequencies between quantum gravitational states of ultracold neutrons and also for the calculation of the chameleon field induced Casimir force for the CANNEX experiment. We show that the chameleon-matter interactions with coupling constants beta < 10^4 can be probed by qBounce experiments with sensitivities Delta E < 10^(-18)eV.
