3 Angular Momentum and Spherical Harmonics For a quantum mechanical system that is able to rotate in 3D, one can always define a set of angular momentum operators J. Jy, J., often collectively written as a vector J. They must satisfy the commutation relations (, ] = ihſ, , Îu] = ihſ, J., ſu] = ihỈy. (1) In a more condensed notation, we may write [1,1]] = Žiheikh, i, j= 1,2,3 k=1 Here we've used the Levi-Civita symbol, defined as...
# Problem 1 # Suppose a point-mass particle with mass, 'm', moving in a gravitational potential, 'U(r)', where 'r' is the distance from the center of the potential. A positional vector and momentum vector of a particle are vec r' and "vec p', respectively. (\vec means vector symbol.) Q1) An angular momentum vector vec J' is defined as vec J = \vec r x \vec p. Show that \vec J is conserved in such a gravitational potential U(r) which depends...

Question 1 (8 marks in total) The deuteron is a bound state of a proton and a neutron. Treating nucleons as identical particles with spin and isospin degrees of freedom, the total state of the deuteron can be writ- ten space Ψ spin Ψ isospin. The deuteron has a total angular momentum quantum number J - 1 and a total spin S -1. Our goal is to determine the parity of the deuteron Q1-1 (1 mark) Show that the possible...
1) (35 points) The wave function for a particle moving along x axis between the limits 0 and L is: (x)-C sin (nx xL) where n are 1, 2, 3, A) Determine the normalization constant C B) Why can't n take the value of 0, briefly explain C) For n-3 determine the values of x (in terms of L) that correspond to a maximum or a minimum in the wave function D) For n-3 determine the values of x (in...
Multivariable Calculus help with the magnitude of angular momentum: My questions is exercise 4 but I have attached exercise 1 and other notes that I was provided 4 Exercise 4. In any mechanics problem where the mass m is constant, the position vector F sweeps out equal areas in equal times the magnitude of the angular momentum ILI is conserved (Note: be sure to prove "if and only if") (Note: don't try to use Exercise 2 in the proof of...
8.4 The Two-Dimensional Central-Force Problem The 2D harmonic oscillator is a 2D central force problem (as discussed in TZD Many physical systems involve a particle that moves under the influence of a central force; that is, a force that always points exactly toward, or away from, a force center O. In classical mechanics a famous example of a central force is the force of the sun on a planet. In atomic physics the most obvious example is the hydrogen atom,...
