1).a) Show that the bound state wave function ψb (Eqn 2.129) and the continuum state wave
function ψk (Eqn 2.131-132 with coefficients 2.136-137) are orthogonal, i.e., 〈ψb|ψk〉 = 0. (b)
[bonus] Explain why the orthogonality exists, example as, are they eigenstates of an operator? If so,
what is the operator? If not explain.

Show that the bound state wave function of the δ function's well is well orthogonal to all scattering state wave functions.

Show that the deuteron has no bound excited states by estimating the excited state energy and...

Show that the deuteron has no bound excited states by estimating the excited state energy and comparing it to the potential well. Consider two cases for the excited state: a) higher order radial eigenfunctions, b) non-zero angular momentum. c) If the nuclear force had a longer range R >R0 we could possibly have excited states. What would be the minimum and maximum values of R∗ so that there could be an excited state with l = 1 but no excited...

Exercise 1: A positronium is a bound electron positron state, where the electron is rotating around a positron rather than a proton. Prove that in a positronium bound state: a) The transition energy levels are halved compared with those of the Hydrogen Atom. b) The electron radii are expanded to double the corresponding radii of the Hydrogen Atom.
