Work out the equivalent commutator for ê and é, with the
Hamiltonian. What do these mean?
O Consider the kinetic energy matrix elements between Hydrogen states
(n' = 4, l', m'| |P|²|
m
-|n = 3, l, m),
=
for all the allowed l', m', l, m values. What kind of operator is the the kinetic energy (scalar or
vector)? Use this to determine the following. For what choices of the four quantum numbers
(l', m', l, m) can the matrix elements be nonzero (e.g. (l', m', l, m) (0, 0, 0, 0),...)? Which
of these nonzero values can be related to each other (i.e. if you knew one of them, you could
predict the other)? In this sense, how many independent nonzero matrix elements are there?
(Note: there is no need to calculate any of these matrix elements.)
