In terms of the totally antisymmetric E-symbol (Levi-Civita tensor) with €123 = +1, the vector product
can be written as
(A x B) i = tijk Aj Bk,
where i, j, k = 1, 2, 3 and summation over repeated indices (here j and k) is implied.

ii)
iii)
iv)
For general vectors A and B, using (2) prove the following relations:
a) A x B=-B x A
b) (A x B) A = (A x B) - B = 0.
The Levi-Civita symbol is related to the Kronecker delta. Prove the following very useful
formula
€ijk€ilm = 8j18km - Sjm³ki.
(2)
Prove the formula
(3)
€imn€jmn = 2dij.
Assuming that (3) is true (and using antisymmetry of the E-symbol), prove the relation
A x (B x C) = (AC) B- (AB) C
(1) Calculate (r) and (r²) for the ground state of the hydrogen atom, expressing your answer in term of the
Bohr radius.
Calculate (x) and (x²) for the ground state of the hydrogen atom. Note that you really do not have to do
any more work than you already did in problem #1 if symmetry properties are invoked.
A system with j = 35 is in the state |ψ⟩= 1/√2 |35,35⟩ + 1/2 |35,34⟩ − 1/2 |35,−20⟩. The state is written in |j,m⟩ notation (m is the Jz projection).
Find ⟨Jz⟩ and ∆Jz for this state. Find ⟨Jx⟩ and ∆Jx for this state.
(Note: This must be done by hand with all work shown; also do this in bracket notation instead of working out the matrices)

[Hint: First calculate the second derivative of ψ(x), then substitute ψ(x) and ψ′′(x). After this substitution, there will be an overall factor of e-(x^2)/(ξ^2) on both sides of the equation which canbe an canceled out. Then, gather all terms which depend on x into one coefficient multiplying x2. This coefficient must be zero because the equation must be satisfied for any x, and equating it with zero yields the expression for ξ.
