The Attempt at a Solution



ok so I am trying to solve these three question.. when i understand the method i think i can solve them all.. so please could you help me solve the first 5.3

I understand that Lz = -i d/dphi

but I am not sure how to apply this to the wavefunction to find eigenvalues..

any help would be great!
thanks
