Problem 6.10
In the text it is asserted that the first-order corrections to an n-folddegenerate energy are the eigenvalues of the W matrix, and that this isthe “natural” generalization fo the n = 2 case. Prove this by starting with
ψ0 =n∑

First we note that since each of the n degenerate solutions, ψ0j of H0 has
eigenvalue E 0 and therefore

Hydrogen fine structure
The Hamiltonian that can besolved exactly for the hydrogenatom is merely an approxima-tion. The first is the correctionfor the motion of the proton.
The other important correctionscan be scaled according to thefine structure constant:
The largest correction is the finestructure and this consists oftwo terms: the relativistic cor-rection and the spin-orbit cor-rection.
