4.7. Let y(x, t) be the wave function of a spinless particle corresponding to a plane
wave in three dimensions. Show that (x.-) is the wave function for the plane
wave with the momentum direction reversed.
b. Let x(n) be the two-component eigenspinor of an with eigenvalue +1. Using
the explicit form of x(A) (in terms of the polar and azimuthal angles ß and y that
characterize A) verify that -io₂x() is the two-component eigenspinor with the
spin direction reversed.
