You are given a particle with the wave function:  Ψ(r, θ, φ) = 1/(√4π) (cos θ - e-iφ sin θ) g (r)  where r is the radial coordinate, θ is the polar angle and φ the azimuthal angle in spherical coordinates and g(r) is the radial part of the wave function.  Express the wave function Ψ explicitly as a superposition of appropriate speed Al harmonic functions Ylm. What are the possible values obtained if a measurement of the z-component of the angular momentum, Lz is performed in state?  Show all workings.

Question

You are given a particle with the wave function: 

Ψ(r, θ, φ) = 1/(√4π) (cos θ - e-iφ sin θ) g (r) 

where r is the radial coordinate, θ is the polar angle and φ the azimuthal angle in spherical coordinates and g(r) is the radial part of the wave function. 

Express the wave function Ψ explicitly as a superposition of appropriate speed Al harmonic functions Ylm. What are the possible values obtained if a measurement of the z-component of the angular momentum, Lz is performed in state? 

Show all workings.
