Homework Statement
Given a system of 2 particles, one in p-state and the other in d-state,
(a) how many eigenstates of J and [tex]J{z}[/tex] are there?
(b) what are the possible values of J and [tex]J{z}[/tex]?
(J = [tex]l{1}[/tex] + [tex]l{2}[/tex])
(c) Find the eigenstates for the subspace with maximum value of j
(give their expansion in terms of |[tex]l{1}[/tex][tex]m{1}[/tex]>|[tex]l{2}[/tex][tex]m{2}[/tex]> representation)
(d) Assume that we measure [tex]J{z}[/tex] = 0. If we now measure [tex]m{1}[/tex], what is the possibility that it will be 1?
(e) If we now measure [tex]J{z}[/tex] again, will we always measure 0 again?
I seriously have no idea how to approach these questions... :( someone help me...
(Sorry for the lousy latex failures with subscripts...)
