Homework Statement
To show [J2, J+] = 0
2. Homework Equations
J+ = Jx + i Jy
[J2, Jx ] = 0
[J2, Jy ] = 0
The Attempt at a Solution
Step 1: L.H.S. = [J2, J+]
Step 2: L.H.S. = [J2, Jx + i Jy ]
Step 3: L.H.S. = [J2, Jx ] + i [J2, Jy ]
Step 4: L.H.S. = 0 + 0
Step 5: L.H.S. = 0
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
I'm kinda confuse about 'Step 3'. Can we take out the 'i' from whole bracket? If yes, then do I have to give any reason for it?
