A2. Angular momentum in quantum mechanics is given by L = L₂i+Îyj+L₂k with components Îx = ÝÂz – 2Îy, Îy = ÊÎx − ÎÔz, Îz = xây - Ýрx. (a) Use the known commutation rules for â, ŷ, 2, pr, py, and pz to show that [Îy, Î₂] = iħÎç. 1 3 221 sin(0) exp(-io), where and o (b) Consider the spherical harmonic Y₁,-1(0, 0) are the polar and azimuthal angles, respectively. (i) Express Y₁,-1 in terms of cartesian coordinates. (ii) Using this expression in cartesian coordinates, show that Y₁,-1 is an eigenfunction of Îz.
