Abstract

Two particles of mass m move along the x axis, interacting by means of a force having characteristic elastic constant k. Assuming that, while they are in the ground state of energy \(E_0\), the constant k is suddenly halved, what is the probability that a new energy measure will result in the energy of the ground state?
