5) A particle of mass m is in the ground state of the infinite square well 0 < x < a At t-0 the right hand wall suddenly moves to x = 2a, doubling the size of the well. Assume that this expansion happens on a time scale so fast that the initial wave function (at t0+) is the same as just before the expansion (at t-0-) (This is called the "sudden" approximation.) a) What is the probability that a...
