    The document defines the spin operators Sx, Sy, and their actions on the spin eigenstates |ψx>± and |ψy>±. It shows that Sx and Sy applied to the eigenstates results in ±ħ times the original state. It also gives the eigenvalues of the angular momentum operators L^2 and Lz applied to the state Y21(θ,φ), with L^2 having eigenvalue 6ħ^2 and Lz having eigenvalue ħ.

    Knowing
    ℏ 0 1 ℏ 0 −𝑖 1 1 1 1
    𝑆̂𝑥 = ( ) , 𝑆̂𝑦 = ( ) , |𝜓𝑥 ⟩± = ( ) , |𝜓𝑦 ⟩± = ( )
    2 1 0 2 𝑖 0 √2 ±1 √2 ±𝑖
    so, we have
    ℏ 0 1 1 1 ℏ 1 ±1 ℏ 1 1 ℏ
    𝑆̂𝑥 |𝜓𝑥 ⟩± = ( ) ( )= ( )=± ( ) = ± |𝜓𝑥 ⟩±
    2 1 0 √2 ±1 2 √2 1 2 √2 ±1 2
    ℏ 0 −𝑖 1 1 ℏ 1 ±1 ℏ 1 1 ℏ
    𝑆̂𝑥 |𝜓𝑥 ⟩± = ( ) ( )= ( )=± ( ) = ± |𝜓𝑦 ⟩±
    2 𝑖 0 √2 ±𝑖 2 √2 𝑖 2 √2 ±𝑖 2

    to finding eigen values of 𝐿⃗̂2 and 𝐿⃗̂ 𝑧 we act them on given states

    𝐿⃗̂2 𝑌21 (𝜃, 𝜑) = 2(2 + 1)ℏ2 𝑌21 (𝜃, 𝜑) = 6ℏ2 𝑌21 (𝜃, 𝜑)

    𝐿⃗̂ 𝑧 𝑌21 (𝜃, 𝜑) = 1ℏ𝑌21 (𝜃, 𝜑) = ℏ𝑌21 (𝜃, 𝜑)
