A nonrelativistic hydrogen atom, with a spinless clectron, is placed in an
electric field E in the z dircction and a mnagnetic field H in the r direction.
The effect of the two ficlds on the energy levcls are comparable.
(a) If the atom is in a state with n, the principal quantuin number,
equal to two, state which matrix clenents in the first-order perturbation
calculation of the energy shifts are zero.
(b) Now obtain an cquation for the energy shifts; once you have the
determinantal cquation you uced not go through the algebra of cvaluating
the determinlant. Do not inscrt the precise forms of the radial wave func-
tions; express your results in terms of matrix clements of r" (wherc n is an
appropriate power) between radial wave functions.
(lz t ily)|e, n) = V{(l7 m) (l ±1m+1)}|e, m ± 1) .
