Homework Statement
The square angular momentum L2 and the z-component Lz of a free particle are measured. They are found to be L2=6[itex]\hbar^2[/itex] and Lz=[itex]\hbar[/itex]
What is the state |l,m> of the system after measurement?
Homework Equations
L2|l,m>=[itex]\hbar^2[/itex]l|l,m>
Lz|l,m>=[itex]\hbar[/itex]m|l,m>
The Attempt at a Solution
Is this simply:
L2|lm>=[itex]\hbar^2[/itex]l|l,m>=6[itex]\hbar^2[/itex]|6,m>
Lz|l,m>=[itex]\hbar[/itex]m|l,m>=[itex]\hbar[/itex]|l,1>
|l,m> = |6,1> ?
