question

Assume that the charge of the proton is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of a sphere of radius $10^{-13} \mathrm{~cm}$. Use perturbation theory to estimate the shift in the ground-state hydrogen-atom energy due to the finite proton size. The potential energy experienced by the electron when it has penetrated the nucleus and is at distance rr from the nuclear center is −eQ/4πε0r-e Q / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r, where QQ is the amount of proton charge within the sphere of radius rr. The evaluation of the integral is simplified by noting that the exponential factor in ψ\psi is essentially equal to 1 within the nucleus.

Assume that the charge of the proton is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of a sphere of radius $10^{-13} \mathrm{~cm}$. Use perturbation theory to estimate the shift in the ground-state hydrogen-atom energy due to the finite proton size. The potential energy experienced by the electron when it has penetrated the nucleus and is at distance $r$ from the nuclear center is $-e Q / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r$, where $Q$ is the amount of proton charge within the sphere of radius $r$. The evaluation of the integral is simplified by noting that the exponential factor in $\psi$ is essentially equal to 1 within the nucleus.
