MW 2M Oray ?? a) Calculate the energy of the first excited state. Determine the corresponding eigenstates in terms of the eigenstates ) (n=0,1,2,...) of one-dimensional harmonic oscillators with the same mass M and angular frequency o. Show that the first excited state is triply- degenerate [5 marks) b) The three-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator of part a) is now subject to the perturbation À, = 2.132 where is a small constant Calculate the matrix elements of Ả, between the eigenstates corresponding to the first excited energy level. Hence, using first-order degenerate perturbation theory, show that, for the first excited state, the energy shifts due to , are 0 and +- 212 4M*?
