Q44

A particle of mass m is confined in an infinite potential well \[V ( x ) = \ array*20c 0,& if 0 < x < L \\ ,& otherwise array .\] It is subjected to a perturbing potential V_P ( x ) = V_0 ( 2 xL ) within the well. Let E(1) and E(2) be the corrections to the ground state energy in the first and second order in V0. Which of the following is correct?

A particle of mass m is confined in an infinite potential well V\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {0,}&{{\text{if }}0 < x < L} \\ {\infty ,}&{{\text{otherwise}}} \end{array}} \right.
