Magnetic moment of a deutron is 0.8574 u_n

[babblingsia]

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.

The contribution of the D state to the mixed ground state can be calculated by taking the difference between the expectation values of the z-component of the magnetic moment in the pure S state and the mixed state, which is 0.8797u_n - 0.8574u_n = 0.0223u_n. This indicates that the D state contributes 0.0223u_n to the total magnetic moment of the deutron in the mixed ground state. This information is important for understanding the overall behavior and properties of the deutron and its interactions with other particles. It is also useful for further research and experiments involving the deutron.
