Problem

Find the eigenvalues of the operators L^2\hat{L}^2 and L^z\hat{L}_z for each of the following states: (a) Y21(θ, φ)Y_{21}(\theta,\ \varphi), (b) Y3,−2(θ, φ)Y_{3,-2}(\theta,\ \varphi), (c) 12[Y33(θ, φ)+Y3,−3(θ, φ)]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left[Y_{33}(\theta,\ \varphi) + Y_{3,-3}(\theta,\ \varphi)\right], and (d) Y40(θ, φ)Y_{40}(\theta,\ \varphi).
