Expand the state in the energy eigenstates of $H_0$ asSubstitution into the Time-dependent Schrodinger equation and projection onto $⟨k|$ gives the exact interaction picture equationsIn first-order time-dependent perturbation theory, put $c_j(t)={\delta }_{j0}$ on the right-hand side and integrate from $0$ to $t$:

For a uniform electric field, the electric-dipole interaction is $\Delta (t)=e{\mathcal{E}}_{0}z{e}^{-t/\tau }$ up to an irrelevant overall sign. The supplied hydrogen atom wavefunctions giveFor $t\gg \tau$, the time integral isThe long-time transition fraction is consequentlyBoth $|100⟩$ and $|200⟩$ have even parity, whereas $z$ is odd, so the electric-dipole selection rule gives $⟨200|z|100⟩=0$. Thus the requested fraction in $|200⟩$ is zero.
