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 state with higher orders of the radial eigenfunction?
