[In light of the Comment you might question the initial conditions. If the perturbation includes a
factor (t), are we sure this doesnt alter c

continuous at a step function potential? The answer is yes, for if we integrate Eq. 9.13 from to

Is this what we would expect? Yes, for rotation about the x axis now means rotation about the y

axis, and
rotation about the y axis has become rotation about the x axis.
