Can you help me solve these questions please

1. Starting with the canonical commutation relations for position and momentum
[Âi, Âj] = [Îi, Îj] = 0
[Îi‚Âj] = −[Âj, Îi] = −iħdij
work out the following commutators, use the definition of Lz below (Q2).
[L, x] = iħy, [Ly] = − iħx, [L,z] = 0,
[L₂,Px] = iħpy, [L₂,Py] = − iħpx, [L₂Pz] = 0
2. Use these results to obtain [L, Lx] = iħL, directly from
-
Lx = YPz− ZPy, Ly = zPx − xp₂, L₁ = xPy — YPx
3. Use the results from Q1 to evaluate the commutators [L₂,r²] & [L₂,p²]
where:
༡
r² = x² + y² + z² & p² = p²+p²+p² & [L₂,x²] = x[L₂, x] + [L₂, x]x
