Part (b): Show the expression by taking expectation value in kth state.
Part (c): Show sum of oscillator strength is 1. What's the significance of radiative transition rates?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Part (a)
Manged to show.
Part (b)
[tex]\langle H \rangle = \langle k|\frac{p^2}{2m} + V|k\rangle[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2m}\langle k|p^2|k\rangle + \langle k|V|k\rangle[/tex]
Not sure what to do at this point - it looks nothing like the answer.
