(a) A linear harmonic oscillator of force constant k has its mass suddenly increased by a fractional amount ϵ. Use first-order time-independent perturbation theory, to find the resultant shift in the frequency of the oscillator to first order in ϵ. Compare your results with the exact solution and discuss.
(b) Repeat part (a), for the effect of increasing k by a fractional amount ϵ.
