    Angular Momentum: Adding Electron Spin in Hydrogen Atom

    Actually I have to find the possible angular momenta squared and their probabilities but it amounts to the same thing.

    Angular Momentum: Adding Electron Spin in Hydrogen Atom

    Homework Statement An electron with spin up is in the state |n=5, l=1, s=0> of the hydrogen atom. If you could measure the angular momentum of the electron alone, what values might you get and what is the probability of each. Homework Equations This problem involves adding angular...

    Calculating clebsch gordan coefficients

    Thanks for you reply. I actually figured out the above one of the 2 problems last night by using ladder operators and then normalizing. Hopefully I can figure out how to use ladder operators to do the second one.

    Calculating clebsch gordan coefficients

    Homework Statement A particle of spin 1 and a particle of spin 2 are at rest in a configuration such that the total spin is three and its z component = 1. If you measured the z component of the ang mom of the spin 2 particle, what values might you get and what probabilities for each...
