The Attempt at a Solution


Issue is in understanding the content. I am only after a nudge in the right direction. My issue is in getting started as it seems with most of these Quantum Problems.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Actually :)
I worked it out.

All you need to do is show that:
J_z * eigenfuction = (\mu \pm \hbar) * eigenfunction

and that can be done using the commutation relation :)
woots :)
