Dear everyone,
I am studying about the Stark effect. I have read about some calculations with using the pertubation theory for state n=2 of hydrogen atom. In here, the energy of this level are lifted up and lifted down by 3ea_0 E (a_0 is Bohr radius; E=electronic field). How about with state n=3 or higher state when the atom is applied by a static electronic field?
What about it? It’s easier to study what happens for general n and then substitute the particular value of n. Nothing qualitatively can change for any value of n. This is a standard exercise in any quantum mechanics course, not a research problem.
In table 6 of the article J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 33 (2000) 5561–5580, you can find the first and second order corrections to the unperturbed energies as well as the corresponding wave-functions.
