One excited state of the sodium atom lies at 25, 739.86 cm-1 above the ground state, another lies at 50 266.88 cm-1. Suppose they are connected by a perturbation equivalent in energy to (a) 100 cm-1 , (b) 1000 cm-1 , (c) 5000 cm-1 . Calculate the energies and composition of the states of the perturbed system.
