Question:
The non-relativistic Hamiltonian for a single electron atom is
\[ H_0 = \frac{p^2}{2m} - V(r) \]
where \( V(r) \) is the Coulomb potential and \( m \) is the mass of the electron.Considering the spin-orbit interaction term:
\[ H' = \frac{1}{2m^2c^2} \frac{1}{r} \frac{dV}{dr} \overrightarrow{L} \cdot \overrightarrow{S} \]
added to \( H_0 \), which of the following statements is/are true?
