Solution please
 
Skip the derivatives, you where on the right way by writing \hat{\vec{L}} as \hat{L}_x^2 + .. and using the commutator rules and the commutators [x,\hat{L}_x] etc.

Hint: Use the fact that you can write \hat{L}_z = x\hat{p}_y - y\hat{p}_x etc, and [x_i,\hat{p}_j] = i\hbar \delta _{i,j} ; where \vec{x} = x,y,z. So x_i can be either x,y,z.

Much work ;)

Dont demand solutions from us, we only give you hints and point you in the right direction. That is also a rule, that full solutions shoulnd be posted. We would also be sitting approx 45min to do this, and it is not us who should do the work, it is you, we only give hints as I said.

Now you have everything to solve this.

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
