‘The subscripts 1 and 2 label the electron and positron respectively, 4 is a constant, and m is the
reduced mass. The term 2// is small relative to the term Ho.
a) What are the eigenvalues and eigenstates of Ho? Is there degeneracy?
) Use first order perturbation theory to calculate the eigenvalues and eigenstates of H.PeroBicm #¢
