Two identical spin-zero bosons are placed in an infinite square well (Equation 2.19). They interact weakly with one another, via the potential
(2.19).
(where is a constant with the dimensions of energy, and a is the width of the well).
(a)First, ignoring the interaction between the particles, find the ground state and the first excited state—both the wave functions and the associated energies.
(b) Use first-order perturbation theory to estimate the effect of the particle– particle interaction on the energies of the ground state and the first excited state.
Question: In Problem 4.43you calculated the expectation value ofin the state. Check your answer for the special cases s = 0(trivial), s = -1(Equation 6.55), s = -2(Equation 6.56), and s = -3(Equation 6.64). Comment on the case s = -7.
If I=0, then j=s,, and the "good" states are the same for weak and strong fields. Determine(from Equation) and the fine structure energies (Equation 6.67), and write down the general result for the I=O Zeeman Effect - regardless of the strength of the field. Show that the strong field formula (Equation 6.82) reproduces this result, provided that we interpret the indeterminate term in square brackets as.
Question: Evaluate the following commutators :

Hint: L and S satisfy the fundamental commutation relations for angular momentum (Equations 4.99 and 4.134 ), but they commute with each other.
Suppose the Hamiltonian H, for a particular quantum system, is a function of some parameter let and be the eigen values and
Eigen functions of. The Feynman-Hellmann theoremstates that
(Assuming either that is nondegenerate, or-if degenerate-that the 's are the "good" linear combinations of the degenerate Eigen functions).
(a) Prove the Feynman-Hellmann theorem. Hint: Use Equation 6.9.
(b) Apply it to the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator,(i)using (this yields a formula for the expectation value of V), (II)using (this yields (T)),and (iii)using (this yields a relation between (T)and (V)). Compare your answers to Problem 2.12, and the virial theorem predictions (Problem 3.31).
