A hydrogen atom in its ground state [( n , l , m ) = (1, 0,

Question:

A hydrogen atom in its ground state [(n, l, m) = (1, 0, 0)] is placed between the plates of a capacitor. A time-dependent but spatial uniform electric field (not potential!) is applied as follows: Using first-order time-dependent perturbation theory, compute the probability for the atom to be found at t >> τ in each of the three 2p states: (n, l, m) = (2, 1, ± 1 or 0). Repeat the problem for the 2s state: (n, l, m) = (2, 0, 0). You need not attempt to evaluate radial integrals, but perform all other integrations (with respect to angles and time).
