How Long Does an Electron Stay in the Hydrogen 2p State?
The problem statement An electron going from 2p to 1s state in hydrogen sits up at the 2p for a while then jumps down. with the given eqn W=\frac {4*\alpha*\omega^3}{3*c^2}*\mid r12\mid^2 \mid r12\mid^2=\mid<1\mid x\mid2>\mid^2+\mid<1\mid y\mid2>\mid^2+\mid<1\mid z\mid2>\mid^2 alpha is...- thesage

Position and momentum commutators
\hat{C}[\hat{A},\hat{B}]=\hat{C}\hat{A}\hat{B}-\hat{C}\hat{B}\hat{A} [\hat{A},\hat{B}]\hat{C}=\hat{A}\hat{B}\hat{C}-\hat{B}\hat{A}\hat{C} These two can't be the same as they are operators and the order matters.- thesage
