6. An electron in hydrogen atom is in initial state ?(r,0) = A(2?_{100} + i?_{210} + ?_{21,-1} - 2i?_{211}) where ?_{nlm} are the eigenfunctions of the hydrogen atom. a. Determine the constant A b. What is the probability of finding the electron in the first excited state? c. Write the state ?(r,t) at time t, using energy eigenvalues as E_n = -?^2 / n^2 d. Find the expectation value of L in the state ?(r,t). e. Find the expectation values of L_x and L_y in the state ?(r,t). f. If measurement of L_z led to the value -?, what will be the results of the measurement of energy and the square of the total orbital momentum immediately afterwards and what are their probabilities?

Problem 1. At time t = 0, the electron in a hydrogen atom is in a state given by |Ψ(0)⟩ = C [2 |2, 0, 0⟩ - |2, 1, 1⟩ + √3 |3, 1, 0⟩] where |n, l, m⟩ ≡ ψ_{n,l,m}(r, θ, ϕ) are the time-independent eigenstates of the hydrogen atom Hamiltonian. (a) Find the value of the normalization constant C. (b) What is the expectation value of the energy in this state? (c) If one were to measure the z-component of the angular momentum, L_z, what values might one get and what are the probabilities associated with those values?
