Problem 1.8
Suppose you add a constant V_0 to the potential energy (by “constant” I mean independent of x as well as t). In classical mechanics this doesn’t change anything, but what about quantum mechanics? Show that the wave function picks up a time-dependent phase factor: exp(−iV_0t/ħ). What effect does this have on the expectation value of a dynamical variable?

In this video, we solve Problem 1.8 in Griffiths' Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (3rd Edition) as part of a series of solutions to the textbook's questions.

At the minute 10, you said we can confirm that we pick up the time dependent phase factor, can you please clarify how did we(pick it up )? I mean we didn’t even use it. We used the other one (its conjugate)

how can you use the integrating factor method if b(t) contains the y term?
