This lecture covers the perturbation theory, focusing on the Stark effect, which describes the shift and splitting of spectral lines in the presence of an external electric field. The instructor explains the diagonalization of the perturbed Hamiltonian, the effect on the hydrogen atom, and the Zeeman effect. Various mathematical calculations and concepts related to the Stark effect are discussed in detail.
