The magnetic moment of a deutron is 0.8574 u_n.Its ground state wave function is taken to be a mixture of S and D states.the expectation values of z-component of the magnetic mment in pure S and pure D states are 0.8797u_n and 0.3101u_n respectively.What is he contribution of the D state to the mixed ground state ? (This one's a question from a competetive exam...don't know if it should have been posted in the homework's section??)

yes, it should - it will be moved.

And you should also show your attempt to solution.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
