A particle is in the ground state of an infinite potential box of length L. Suddenly the box expands (symmetrically to twice its size, without disturbing the wave function). Show that the probability of finding the particle in the ground state of the new box is ()

A particle is initially in its ground state in an infinite one-dimensional potential box with sides at $x=0$ and $x=a$. If the wall of the box at $x=a$ is suddenly moved to $x=3 a$, calculate the probability of finding the particle in (a) the ground state of the new box and (b) the first excited state of the new box. (c) Now, calculate the probability of finding the particle in the first excited state of the new box, assuming the particle was initially in the first excited state of the old box.
