EJ=[J(J+1)^2 c^2 ]/(2)(0.5)(Mpc^2 )r^2
E 2 =(2)(3)(197.3)^2 (10−^15 )^2 /(940)×(10−^10 )^2
= 0. 264 × 10 −^10 MeV
= 2. 64 × 10 −^5 eV

16 + 12

;μ 2 =

16 x
16 +x

(2)

Using (2) in (1) and solving forx, we getx = 13 .004. Hence the mass
number is 13.

(b) IfAandBare Hermitian
(AB)†=B†A†=BA
If the product is to be Hermitian then (AB)†=ABi.e.AB=BA. Thus,
AandBmust commute with each other.
