Angular Momentum In Spherical Coordinates

Quantum Mechanics: The Hydrogen Atom - University of …

brackets are functions of ronly, and the angular momentum operator is only a function of and ˚. Thus, the wavefunction can be written in a form that lends to separation of variables. Recalling that the spherical harmonics are eigenfunctions of the angular momentum operator: (r; ;˚) = R(r)Ym l ( ;˚) SeparationofVariables L^2Ym l ( ;˚) = h2l ...
