Question

Transcribed Image Text:Att= 0, an electron is in the eigen state with n = 1 of a one-dimensional shape well
So lr| > a/2
V (x) = {
7/D > |r| 0
At t = 0, a uniform electric field of magnitude Eo is applied for a short time interval T,
and then it is removed. Use time-dependent theory of perturbations to calculate the
probability that an electron is in an eigenstate with n= 2; 3 at time t>T.
