(29 marks) Consider the electron of a hydrogen atom. Let the states Ξ¨π,π,π with π, π, π integers, π = 1, 2, 3, ...; π = 0, 1, ..., π β 1; βπ β€ π β€ π, be an orthonormal basis made of common eigenstates of the Hamiltonian, total angular momentum and angular momentum around the π§ axis. That is, π»ΛΞ¨π,π,π = πΈπΞ¨π,π,π where πΈπ = β πΈ0 π 2 , and πΈ0 = 13.6ππ, πΏΛ 2Ξ¨π,π,π = π(π + 1)β 2Ξ¨π,π,π, πΏΛ π§Ξ¨π,π,π = πβΞ¨π,π,π. The corresponding orthonormality conditions are β¨Ξ¨π,π,π|Ξ¨π β² ,πβ² ,πβ²β© = πΏπ,πβ²πΏπ,πβ²πΏπ,πβ². a) (2 marks) Consider the state Ξ¦1 = β 2Ξ¨1,0,0 β 2Ξ¨2,1,1 + (2 + π)Ξ¨2,1,β1. Normalise Ξ¦1
To normalize the state (\Phi_1), we need to ensure that the inner product (\langle \Phi_1 | \Phi_1 \rangle = 1). The state (\Phi_1) is given by:
[ \Phi_1 = \sqrt{2} \Psi_{1,0,0} - 2 \Psi_{2,1,1} + (2 + i) \Psi_{2,1,-1} ]
First, we calculate the inner product (\langle \Phi_1 | \Phi_1 \rangle):
[ \langle \Phi_1 | \Phi_1 \rangle = \left( \sqrt{2} \Psi_{1,0,0} - 2 \Psi_{2,1,1} + (2 + i) \Psi_{2,1,-1} \right)^\dagger \left( \sqrt{2} \Psi_{1,0,0} - 2 \Psi_{2,1,1} + (2 + i) \Psi_{2,1,-1} \right) ]
Using the orthonormality conditions (\langle \Psi_{n,l,m} | \Psi_{n',l',m'} \rangle = \delta_{n,n'} \delta_{l,l'} \delta_{m,m'}), we can simplify this expression:
[ \langle \Phi_1 | \Phi_1 \rangle = (\sqrt{2})^2 \langle \Psi_{1,0,0} | \Psi_{1,0,0} \rangle + (-2)^2 \langle \Psi_{2,1
