Homework Statement
What s the inner product [tex]<2011|0011>[/tex]
Homework Equations
[tex]C_{m_1m_2}=<l_1l_2m_1m_2|lml_1l_2>[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure how to exactly solve this question. The first thing that came to my mind was the Clebsch-Gordan equation, since that's what it looks like, but then I saw that it doesn't really make any sense because of this:
[tex]|lml_1l_2>=|0011>[/tex]
[tex]|l_1l_2m_1m_2>=|2011>[/tex]
I'm guessing the inner product is zero, but I'm not sure how to show this.
maybe because since m=0, m_1=1 and m_2=1 wouldn't make sense? not too sure, any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
