Question: Consider an orbital angular-momentum Eigen state | l = 2, m = 0>. Suppose this state is rotated by an angle about the y-axis.

Consider an orbital angular-momentum Eigen state | l = 2, m = 0>. Suppose this state is rotated by an angle β about the y-axis. Find the probability for the new state to be found in m = 0, ± 1, and ± 2. (The spherical harmonics for l = 0, 1, and 2 given in Appendix A may be useful).
