Question

The ammonia molecule can be treated as a symmetric rigid rotator, with its 3 hydrogen atoms lying in the xy plane and the nitrogen atom lying above the plane on the z axis, as shown in the attached image. If we call the moment of inertia about the z acis I3, and the moments about the pair of axes perpendicular to the z axis I1, the rotational energy of the molecule can be written as Eq 1 (see provided image). 

Say that at time t = 0, the wave function of the ammonia molecule is given as Eq 2 (see provided image), where the Yl, m1(θ, Φ) are the sphereical harmonics.

  • What are the energy eigenvalues for this symmetric rigid rotator? Find (θ, Φ, t) , the wave function at time t.
