(a)
Interpretation:
The resulting representations for the given products of irreducible representations are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The group of symmetry operations of which at least one point is kept fixed is called point group. The symmetry operations can be identity, rotation, reflection, inversion and improper rotation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The resulting representations for the given products of irreducible representations are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The group of symmetry operations of which at least one point is kept fixed is called point group. The symmetry operations can be identity, rotation, reflection, inversion and improper rotation. The Great orthogonality theorem gives the relationship between all the elements of matrix of representation with the symmetry operation.
