Improving student understanding of corrections to the energy spectrum of the hydrogen atom for the Zeeman effect
We discuss an investigation of student difficulties with the corrections to the energy spectrum of the hydrogen atom for the intermediate field Zeeman effect using degenerate perturbation theory (DPT). The investigation was carried out in advanced quantum mechanics courses by administering free-resp...
