Q87 · CSIR-NET Chemistry, June 2014

Paper: CSIR-NET June 2014 · Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Quantum Chemistry · Topic: Angular Momentum · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium

The operators $\mathrm{S}_{ \pm}$are defined by $\mathrm{S}_{ \pm}=\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{x}} \pm \mathrm{iS}_{\mathrm{y}}$ where $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{x}}$ and $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{y}}$ are components of the spin angular momentum operator. The commutator $\left[\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{x}}, \mathrm{S}_{+}\right]$is
(a)$\hbar \mathrm{S}_{+}$
(b)$\hbar \mathrm{S}_{-}$
(c)$-\hbar \mathrm{S}_{+}$
(d)$-\hbar \mathrm{S}_{-}$
