Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.33E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the integral representing the first-order correction can be solved analytically and be exact is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Perturbation theory assumes that a system can be approximated as a known, solvable system. The difference between the known system and system of interest is small and additive. Thus, the Hamiltonian for the real system can be written as given below.

The physical interpretation of the wavefunction and the fact that it is a solution of the Schroedinger equation, which is a 2nd order differential equation, causes many restrictions on an acceptable wave function solution: (i) it must be single-valued; (ii) it must be continuous; (iii) its slope must be continuous; and (iv) it must be normalizable or normalized. Sketch the following functions and check whether they can be wave functions. Explain your answers. (Hint, it might be useful to plot the functions).
