✦ Synopsis

Simple consideratrons based on relative v&city yield a natural adiabaticity parameter for collinear vibrational excita-tion_ Condittons for the applicability of the sudden approximation are derived by examining the relevant classical motion.

The relation between the sudden approximation and the sudden limrt of the classmal-path approximation is examined.
