    Calculating the Inner Product of <2011|0011>

    Homework Statement What s the inner product <2011|0011> Homework Equations C_{m_1m_2}=<l_1l_2m_1m_2|lml_1l_2> The Attempt at a Solution I'm not sure how to exactly solve this question. The first thing that came to my mind was the Clebsch-Gordan equation, since that's what it looks like...

    How to Calculate Angular Momentum Eigenstates for Coupled Electrons?

    Homework Statement say the coupled angular momentum eigenstate for two p elections is |2211>. I am asked to operate on the eigenstate with L^2 and L_{z} to verify lm Homework Equations L^2 = L_1^2 +L_2^2 +2L_{1z}L_{2z}+(L_{1+}L_{2-}+L_{1-}L_{2+}) L_{+} |l,m>=|l,m+1> L_{-} |l,m>=|l,m-1>...

    Energy and momentum eigenfunctions

    so I've went there already, and coundt find them, which is why I'm asking on this forum. maybe i just can't spot them out?

    Energy and momentum eigenfunctions

    i skipped QM and went into quantum theory so i never went over this. this isn't talked about in my book. all i need to know is the energy eigenfuction for a free particle please? Oh and momentum eigenvalues for a particle in a box?

    Energy and momentum eigenfunctions

    just a general and quick question because I'm making a formula sheet for my test tomorrow: What is the energy eigenfunction for a free particle and what is the momentum eigenfunction for a particle in a box?

    Possible Dangers of the CERN LHC Experiment

    yeah, the LHC is a discovery machine. it's built to see whether supersymmetry is in fact a valid theory and to look for the Higgs Boson. It's actually a very exciting time for physicists!

    Comparing Fourier Transforms of Rectangle and Triangular Functions

    ok i did it, and it does show that it would be sin^3 know this, why is it that the higher the power, the larger n is for sin^n?

    Comparing Fourier Transforms of Rectangle and Triangular Functions

    Homework Statement For a visual of what I am talking about, please visit: http://webhost.etc.tuiasi.ro/cin/Downloads/Fourier/Fourier.html and scroll down to the "Examples of Fourier Transforms" part I am ask to explain why the Fourier transform on the rectangle function was similar to...

    Differences Between Vector Spaces and Fields Explained

    What is the different between a vector space and a field? Seems to me that they both are the same thing

    How to write statements with negation and disjunction in symbolic form?

    then shouldn't this be the same thing as well? 1. It is not the case that I like cars or I like trees 2. It is not the case that I like cars, or I like trees Say X- I like cars and Y=I like trees then using the example from the book i could say ~X V Y, which would read: "I do not like cars or...

    How to write statements with negation and disjunction in symbolic form?

    that's what I thought, but the examples in the book gives the following: P=Irene has red hair PV~P = "Irene has red hair or she dos not have red hair" if what you say is correct, then the example should say: PV~P = "Irene has red hair, or she dos not have red hair"

    How to write statements with negation and disjunction in symbolic form?

    Homework Statement This is just a simple logic question that I need a little guidance. Let X= "I like cars" Let Y= "I like trees" Let ~ = not Let V = or How would this be written in symbols: 1. It is not the case that I like cars or I like trees 2. It is not the case that I like...
