(14 points) The nuclear spin behaves in an analogous way to all the other quantum mechanical angular momenta, including orbital angular momentum and electron spin. In particular, the nuclear spin has similar eigenvalue equations, quantum numbers, commutation relations, and measurement properties. The nuclear spin vector is ! denoted I and has magnitude I and z-component Iz . As a specific example, the 7Li nucleus has a nuclear spin given by I = 3/2 . For the 7Li €nucleus, determine all the possible angles€that the quantum mechanical nuclear spin ! vector I can make with the z-axis. € Since nuclear spin behaves in the same way as other angular momentm types, the angle θ € that the nuclear spin vector makes with the z-axis can be described by the relation, cosθ = mI ! Iz = I 2 ! I(I +1) = mI . I(I +1) € For I = 3/2 , there are 4 possible values of mI , and therefore 4 possible angles. Substituting I = 3/2 we have, € € cosθ = € mI € , with mI = −3/2, −1/2, 1/2, and 3/2. 3 3 2 ( 2 +1) The equation may be solved for the angle θ by taking the inverse cosine.
