We calculate the multipole ratios {ital E}{sub 1+}/{ital M}{sub 1+} (electric quadrupole to magnetic dipole) and {ital S}{sub 1+}/{ital M}{sub 1+} (scalar quadrupole to magnetic dipole) for the reaction {gamma}{sub {ital v}}{ital N}{r arrow}{Delta}. We use the nonrelativistic transition operators but wave functions expanded in a large harmonic-oscillator basis which are the solutions of a relativized'' Hamiltonian (relativized wave functions), in order to test the dependence of the results on truncation of the wave-function basis. Our results show an {ital M}{sub 1+} multipole closer to the experimental data at the photon point, {ital E}{sub 1+}(0)/{ital M}{sub 1+}(0){congruent}{minus}0.2, and smaller values of these ratios than previous calculations at all {ital Q}{sup 2}. The current-conservation condition between {ital S}{sub 1+} and {ital L}{sub 1+} (the longitudinal quadrupole multipole) is also satisfied to a better approximation with the relativized wave functions at values of {ital Q}{sup 2} where the model is believable.
