It would perhaps help if you defined all the variables, and what the problem is actually asking...

<Rg^2> is the radius of gyration. Ri-Rc is the distance between the monomers and the center of the polymer. The problem is that give <Rg^2>=1/N Sum<( Ri-Rc )^2>, and that Rc=1/N sum Ri. proof that sqrt(<Rg^2>) = sqrt(Lζ/3). Actually i was working on it, and there is a step that i m not sure, and it's that if 1/N Sum<(Ri-1/N Sum(Ri)>^2 ==1/(2N^2) <sum of [i,j] (Ri-Rj)>^2
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...
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...
