A hydrogen atom is in the stationary state (n, I, m) = (5, 3, 1) What is the angle between the angular momentum vector L and Lz? Give you answer to 3 significant figures and in units of degrees, but do not include the units in your answer.
Consider a two-electron spin system in a singlet state. a. If a measurement of one of the electrons shows that it is in a state with sz = 1/2, what is the probability of obtaining another state with sz= +1/2? b. If a measurement of one of the electrons shows that it is in a state with sx = 1/2, what is the probability of obtaining another state with sy = +1/2?
) What are the allowed values for total spin angular momentum of the hydrogen atom having 1 proton and 1 electron, a deuterium atom and a tritium atom? Note: Your analysis should be restricted to just the spin angular momentum. The problem is not asking about orbital angular momentum. Based on your results, which atom types (hydrogen, deuterium, tritium) will respond as a composite boson?
