Problem 1:


A plane rotator (i.e. a particle confined to move on a unit circle) is in a state
with a wavefunction <math>\psi(\phi) = Asin2\phi</math> where <math>\psi</math> is the azimuthal angle.
a) Determine A.
b) Find the probability of measuring different values of the z-component of the angular
momentum <math>L_z</math>.
c) Find the expectation values <math>L_z</math> and <math>L</math>
