I Matrix element in problem with hydrogen atom

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the matrix element for a hydrogen atom using its Hamiltonian eigenstates. The specific matrix element in question is <210|rsin(θ)cos(φ)|100>, with the participant arriving at a result of 4π/(27√2). However, a key point raised is that the wavefunction ψ210 is independent of φ, leading to the integral ∫0^(2π) cos(φ) dφ being zero. This indicates that the initial calculation may be incorrect due to a misunderstanding of the angular dependencies. The conversation highlights the importance of correctly interpreting the properties of the wavefunctions in quantum mechanics.

I have a problem in calculate a matrix element in a problem with hydrogen atom.

I have an hydrogen atom and Hamiltonian eigenstates ##|n,l,m>## where ##n## are energy quantum numbers, ##l## are ##L^2## quantum numbers and ##m## are ##L_z## quantum numbers, I have to calculate the matrix element ##<210|rsin(\theta)cos(\phi)|100>## with ##\theta \in [0,\pi]##, ##\phi \in [0,2\pi]##, ##r \in [0,+\infty]## and the result I get is ##\frac{4\pi}{27 \sqrt{2}}##, is it right?

Yes you are right, I must have gotten the angles mixed up and didn't realize it.
 
For the quantum state ##|l,m\rangle= |2,0\rangle## the z-component of angular momentum is zero and ##|L^2|=6 \hbar^2##. According to uncertainty it is impossible to determine the values of ##L_x, L_y, L_z## simultaneously. However, we know that ##L_x## and ## L_y##, like ##L_z##, get the values ##(-2,-1,0,1,2) \hbar##. In other words, for the state ##|2,0\rangle## we have ##\vec{L}=(L_x, L_y,0)## with ##L_x## and ## L_y## one of the values ##(-2,-1,0,1,2) \hbar##. But none of these...
