Y00=14πY12=-158πeiϕsinθcosθ

Step by step solution

01

Define the Schrödinger equation

A differential equation describes matter in quantum mechanics in terms of the wave-like properties of particles in a field. Its answer is related to a particle's probability density in space and time.

02

Calculation

PI'''x=1-x2m2(ddx)mPIxPIx=12II!(ddx)Ix2-1IYmIθ,ϕ=ε2I+1I-m!4πI+m!eimϕPImcosθ

Using these three equations we have to construct

Y00=14πP00cosθP00x=P0xP0x=1

Combine the above we get,

localid="1656058765024" Y00=14Ï€

Repeat the same procedure,

Y12=-5·14π·3·2eiϕP21cosθP21x=1-x2=ddxP2xP2x=14.2(ddx)2x2-1 P2x=18ddx2x2-1+x2xP2x=12x2-1+x2xP2x=123x2-1P21x=1-x2ddx[32x2-12]P21x=1-x23x

But

x=cosθ

So,

P21cosθ=1-cos2θ3cosθ=3cosθsinθ

Thus,

Y12=-158πeiϕsinθcosθ

Now we need to check the normalization

role="math" localid="1656062511219" ∬Y002sinθdθdϕ=14π∫0πsinθdθ∫02πdϕ∬Y002sinθdθdϕ=14π22π∬Y002sinθdθdϕ=1∬Y002sinθdθdϕ=154π∫0πsin2θcos2θsinθdθ∫02πdϕ∬Y002sinθdθdϕ=154π∫0π1-cos2θcos2θsinθdθ∫02πdϕy=cosθ,dy=-sinθ∬Y212sinθdθdϕ=154∫1-1y21-y2dy∬Y212sinθdθdϕ=154[y33-y55]1-1∬Y212sinθdθdϕ=1

Finally, we need to check the orthonormality as

∬Y00Y21sinθdθdϕ=-14π158π∫0πsinθcosθsinθdθ∫02πeiϕdϕ

The first and second integral vanishes thus,

∬Y00Y21sinθdθdϕ=0
