    Calculating p_{nm} in Infinite Square Well: Odd, Even Results?

    Hi Ehrenfest, Maybe I'm a little slow here, but can you show me how you arrived at p_{nm}?

    Particle in a Box: Is Ground State an Eigenstate of Lz?

    Note: the ground state wavefunction on which I have Lz operating is (Psi) = Sqrt(8/V) sin(pi*x/a) sin(pi*y/a) sin(pi*z/a), where V=a^3 I have used the operator Lz = XPy-YPx = -ih(x*d/dy - y*d/dx)

    Particle in a Box: Is Ground State an Eigenstate of Lz?

    Is the ground state wavefunction of a particle in a 3-D cubic box with V=0 an eigenstate of the z-direction orbital angular momentum operator, Lz? I tried to determine this using cartesian coordinates, but I ended up with an imaginary answer for Lz(Psi), which is supposed to be a Hermitian...
