13.43 A one-dimensional harmonic oscillator in the ground state is acted upon by a uniform electric field switched on at t= -0o. The field is parallel to the axis of the oscillator. (a) What is the probability that the oscillator suffers a transition to its first excited state at r- +0? (b) Show that no other transition is possible.
