Chapter 7, Problem 7F.10P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Operators l^z and l2 both commute with the Hamiltonian for a hydrogen atom have to be shown.  The significance of the result has to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The importance of angular momentum is comparable to the linear momentum in translational motion.  In quantum mechanics, commutator of two operators tells the measurement of two operators at a same time.  The commutator of angular momentum in two different axes is calculated by the formula shown below.

    [l^x, l^y]f=l^xl^yf−l^yl^xf
