Homework Equations
H|ψ> = E|ψ>
L^{2}|ψ> = l(l+1)\hbar^{2}|ψ>
L_{z}|ψ> = m_{l}\hbar|ψ>
The Attempt at a Solution
I know this problem is very simple since I've seen a very similar problem a while ago but I've completed forgot how to do it over the winter break.
As far as normalization goes its <ψ|ψ> = 1, so I simply multiply the given ket vector by the bra vector of the same state. However I can't for the life of me remember how the bra and ket vectors multiply to an equation is which you just solve for A. Say for the 3rd term, 2|ψ_{2,1,-1}> represents n=1, l=1, m_{l} = -1
So then the Hamiltionian eigenvalue is 1, the L^{2} eigenvalue is 1(1+1)\hbar^{2} = 2\hbar^{2} and the L_{z} eigenvalue is -\hbar but how do I put all this together?
FYI this is for the hydrogen atom |ψ_{n,l,m_{l}}>
