(a)

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)

(b)

For this state eigen value for 𝐿⃗̂2 is 12ℏ2 and for 𝐿⃗̂ 𝑧 is −2ℏ.

(c)
1 1 ̂2 1 ̂2
𝐿⃗̂2 (𝑌33 (𝜃, 𝜑) + 𝑌3,−3 (𝜃, 𝜑)) = 𝐿⃗ 𝑌33 (𝜃, 𝜑) + 𝐿⃗ 𝑌3,−3 (𝜃, 𝜑)
√2 √2 √2
1 1
= 12ℏ2 ( 𝑌33 (𝜃, 𝜑) + 𝑌3,−3 (𝜃, 𝜑))
√2 √2

1 1 1
𝐿⃗̂ 𝑧 (𝑌33 (𝜃, 𝜑) + 𝑌3,−3 (𝜃, 𝜑)) = 3ℏ ( 𝑌33 (𝜃, 𝜑) − 𝑌3,−3 (𝜃, 𝜑))
√2 √2 √2

So, this state is eigen state of 𝐿⃗̂2 with eigen value 12ℏ2 but not eigen state of 𝐿⃗̂ 𝑧

(d)

For this state eigen value for 𝐿⃗̂2 is 20ℏ2 and for 𝐿⃗̂ 𝑧 is 0.
