Homework Statement



I need to know what the eigen value of Lx would be if, Lx|n,l,m>.

Homework Equations



L+-=Lx+-iLy
L2=Lx2+Ly2+Lz2
Lz|n,l,m>=mhbar|n,l,m>
L|n,l,m>=l(l+1)hbar2|n,l,m>


The Attempt at a Solution



I have a mixed state I need to apply Lx tp, but I'm not sure how! If anyone known how to put this in terms of L, Lz, or L+-, I would really appreciate the help!

Express Lx in terms of L+ and L -, then operate on |n,l,m> and see what you get.

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
