Paper 3, Section II, E
A particle moves in one dimension in an infinite square-well potential for and for . Find the energy eigenstates. Show that the energy eigenvalues are given by for integer , where is a constant which you should find.
The system is perturbed by the potential . Show that the energy of the level remains unchanged to first order in . Show that the ground-state wavefunction is
where and are numerical constants which you should find. Briefly comment on the conservation of parity in the unperturbed and perturbed systems.
