Answer to Problem 11.54E

The eigenvalues of total angular momentum is 122.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

The general equation for the wavefunction in the 3-dimensional rotation is,

Ψl,ml=12πeimϕθl,ml

The complete form of Ψ3,2 using Table 11.3 is,

Ψ3,2=10542πsin2θcosθe2iϕ

The total angular momentum using the complete forms of operators is,

ˆL2Ψ=2(2θ2+cotθθ+1sin2θ2ϕ2)Ψ

The first derivative of the given wavefunction with respect to θ is,

θ(10542πsin2θcosθe2iϕ)

=10542π(2sinθcos2θsin3θ)e2iϕ…(1)

The second derivative of the given wavefunction with respect to θ is,

2θ2=θ(10542π(2sinθcos2θsin3θ)e2iϕ)

   =10542π(2cos3θ4sin2θcosθ3sin2θcosθ)e2iϕ…(2)

The second derivative of the given wavefunction with respect to ϕ is,

2ϕ2(10542πsin2θcosθe2iϕ)=(2)2i2×10542πsin2θcosθe2iϕ=4×10542πsin2θcosθe2iϕ

=1052πsin2θcosθe2iϕ…(3)

Substitute equation (1), (2) and (3) in the equation of total angular momentum as shown below.

ˆL2Ψ3,2=2(10542π(2cos3θ4sin2θcosθ3sin2θcosθ)e2iϕ+cotθ10542π(2sinθcos2θsin3θ)e2iϕ1sin2θ1052πsin2θcosθe2iϕ)

Take common terms together and rearrange the given equation as shown below.

ˆL2Ψ3,2=210542πe2iϕ((2cos3θ7sin2θcosθ)+cotθ(2sinθcos2θsin3θ)e2iϕ4cosθe2iϕ)

Substitute the value of cotθ=cosθsinθ in the given equation.

ˆL2Ψ3,2=210542πe2iϕ((2cos3θ7sin2θcosθ)+cosθsinθ(2sinθcos2θsin3θ)e2iϕ4cosθe2iϕ)ˆL2Ψ3,2=210542πe2iϕ((2cos3θ7sin2θcosθ)+(2cos3θcosθsin2θ)4cosθ)ˆL2Ψ3,2=210542πe2iϕ(4cos3θ8sin2θcosθ4cosθ)

Substitute cos2θ=1sin2θ in the given equation.

ˆL2Ψ3,2=210542πe2iϕ(4cosθ(1sin2θ)8sin2θcosθ4cosθ)ˆL2Ψ3,2=210542πe2iϕ(4cosθ4sin2θcosθ8sin2θcosθ4cosθ)ˆL2Ψ3,2=210542πe2iϕ(12sin2θcosθ)ˆL2Ψ3,2=12210542πe2iϕ(sin2θcosθ)

Thus, the total angular momentum is represented as,

ˆL2Ψ3,2=122Ψ3,2

The eigenvalues of total angular momentum is 122.

Conclusion

The eigenvalues of total angular momentum is 122.

The z-component of angular momentum using the complete forms of operators is,

ˆLzΨ3,2=iϕΨ3,2

The first derivative of the given wavefunction with respect to ϕ is,

ϕ(10542πsin2θcosθe2iϕ)

=(2)i×10542πsin2θcosθe2iϕ…(4)

Substitute equation (4) in the equation of z-component of angular momentum as shown below.

ˆLzΨ3,2=i((2)i×10542πsin2θcosθe2iϕ)ˆLzΨ3,2=2(10542πsin2θcosθe2iϕ)ˆLzΨ3,2=2Ψ3,2

The eigenvalues of z-component of angular momentum is 2.

Conclusion

The eigenvalues of z-component of angular momentum is 2.

The Hamiltonian operator for energy applied on the given wavefunction is also represented in the form of total angular momentum.

ˆHΨ3,2=ˆL2Ψ3,22I

The value of total angular momentum is 122.

ˆHΨ3,2=122Ψ3,22IˆHΨ3,2=62Ψ3,2I

The eigenvalue of energy E for the given wavefunction is 62I.

Conclusion

The eigenvalue of energy E for the given wavefunction is 62I.
