The deuteron is a bound state of a proton and a neutron of total angular momentum j = 1. It is known to be principally an S(ℓ = 0) state with a small admixture of a D(ℓ = 2) state. Calculate the magnetic moment of the pure d state n-p system with j = 1. Assume that the n and p spins are to be coupled to make the total spin s which is then coupled to the orbital angular momentum ℓ to give the total angular momentum j. Express your result in nuclear magnetons. The proton and neutron magnetic moments are 2.79 and -1.91 nuclear magnetons, respectively.
Note: The nuclear magneton is given by
µ = [(gℓℓ + gss) · j] j(j + 1) jµ0

Show that the deuteron has no bound excited states by estimating the excited state energy and comparing it to the potential well. Consider two cases for the excited state: a) higher order radial eigenfunctions, b) non-zero angular momentum. c) If the nuclear force had a longer range R >R0 we could possibly have excited states. What would be the minimum and maximum values of R∗ so that there could be an excited state with l = 1 but no excited...

The orbital angular momentum is a 3D vector. For an electron at a state associated with quantum numbers (?, ?, ??), the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum is √?(? + 1) ℏ. The orbital angular momentum measured along the z axis, however, will be exactly ??ℏ. For a real orbital that combines two complex orbitals associated with two different ?? values, a measurement along the z axis will result in either of the two ?? values with an equal...

With the sun at the origin, compute the total angular momentum of the earth, and compare the magnitude of the contributions from the angular momentum of the center of mass and the angular momentum about the center of mass. You can make simplifying assumptions, like that the orbit is circular, that the earth is perfect sphere, etc.
