Q.2)(20p) Consider a charged oscillator, of positive charge $q$ and mass $m$, which is subject to an oscillating electrical field $E_0 Sin(omega t)$. Hamiltonian of the particle is $H = frac{p^2}{2m} + frac{1}{2}kx^2 + qE_0 x Sin(omega t)$. Calculate $frac{d}{dt}langle P angle$ and $frac{d}{dt}langle H angle$.

Consider a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator of mass m, angular frequency ω₀, and charge q. Let |n> and Eₙ = ħω(n + 1/2) be the eigenstates and eigenvalues of its Hamiltonian H₀. For t < 0, the oscillator is in the ground state |0>. At t = 0, it is subject to an electric field.

Consider a particle of mass m and charge q moving in a 1D harmonic oscillator potential. Assume that it is placed in a constant (but small) electric field of magnitude E. The resulting Hamiltonian is therefore H = H^(0) + H^(1) = [p^2/(2m) + mω^2x^2/2] - qEx. Derive an expressions for the energy and wavefunction of the particle's lowest energy state. (a) Use non-degenerate perturbation theory. (b) Next, solve the problem exactly by taking the Hamiltonian and completing the square. Then change variables to make the resulting H look like an unperturbed Hamiltonian operator (H^(0)) whose solutions you already know. This second part will likely be involved. It is meant to illustrate to you the power of non-degenerate perturbation theory.
Two positive charges, each with a charge of Q = 21.0 μuC, are held fixed at a distance L = 29.40 cm to either side of a particle of charge q = −1.50 μuC and mass m = 3.30 g. This particle is constrained to move along a vertical frictionless wire halfway between the two charges, as indicated in the figure. Neglecting any gravitational effects, determine the frequency f of small-amplitude oscillations of the particle.
