(*) First excited state (5 pts)

Show that, if is the same state from the previous problem obeying , and if we define a new state , then is also a pure state of , and give the energy of the new state .

Hint: You should be able to do this problem using the results given to you in (2.2-2.4) without much additional algebra.
