Homework Statement
Consider the Hamiltonian
[tex]\hat{}H[/tex] = [tex]\hat{}p[/tex]2/2m + (1/2)mω2[tex]\hat{}x[/tex]2 + F[tex]\hat{}x[/tex]
where F is a constant. Find the possible eigenvalues for H. Can you give a physical
interpretation for this Hamiltonian?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't think you can put H in matrix form?
Can i use the following?
HΨ=λΨ
HΨ = p2Ψ/2m+(1/2)mω2x2Ψ+FxΨ = λΨ?
I think i am using the wrong method.
What does "give a physical interpretation..." mean?
thanks in advance
