Write . The first Hermite polynomials give and proportional, with the same constant, to and . Thus in Cartesian coordinates the new wavefunctions areUsing polar coordinates , givesThe orbital angular momentum is , which immediately verifies its eigenvalues . Multiplying these spatial wavefunctions by for and for gives the corresponding full stationary states.
