Question
What is the commutation relationship between the total angular momentum operator L2 and any of its components, e.g., Lx?OPTIONS [L2,Lx]= -iℏLx [L2,Lx]=0 [L2,Lx]= iℏLx [L2,Lx]= ℏ
Solution
The commutation relationship between the total angular momentum operator L^2 and any of its components, for example Lx, is [L^2, Lx] = 0. This means that the total angular momentum operator and any of its components commute, i.e., the order in which they are applied does not matter.
