Homework Equations
H|ψ> = E|ψ>
[itex]L^{2}[/itex]|ψ> = l(l+1)[itex]\hbar^{2}[/itex]|ψ>
[itex]L_{z}[/itex]|ψ> = [itex]m_{l}[/itex][itex]\hbar[/itex]|ψ>
The Attempt at a Solution
I know this problem is very simple since I've seen a very similar problem a while ago but I've completed forgot how to do it over the winter break.
As far as normalization goes its <ψ|ψ> = 1, so I simply multiply the given ket vector by the bra vector of the same state. However I can't for the life of me remember how the bra and ket vectors multiply to an equation is which you just solve for A. Say for the 3rd term, 2|[itex]ψ_{2,1,-1}[/itex]> represents n=1, l=1, [itex]m_{l}[/itex] = -1
So then the Hamiltionian eigenvalue is 1, the [itex]L^{2}[/itex] eigenvalue is 1(1+1)[itex]\hbar^{2}[/itex] = 2[itex]\hbar^{2}[/itex] and the [itex]L_{z}[/itex] eigenvalue is -[itex]\hbar[/itex] but how do I put all this together?
FYI this is for the hydrogen atom |[itex]ψ_{n,l,m_{l}}[/itex]>
