Particle in a box - perturbation theory

[QUOTE="odesa, post: 2164986, member: 112700"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Find the ground state energy of a particle restricted to move in one dimension subject to the potential in the attachement using perturbation theory. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] Yo = (2/a)[SUP]1/2[/SUP] sin(nπx/a)[h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I'm not sure how to account for the potential since there are two wells. My setup right now using braket notation is E = 2<Y|Y> + <Y|Vo|Y> where Y is the wavefunction Yo = (2/a)[SUP]1/2[/SUP] sin(nπx/a) Can I get some feedback as to if I am headed in the right direction or how to get there if I am not? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
