Operator of the angular momentum of two particles of masses mβ,β has the form
L=1β+lβ=βi[rβΓ ββ]βi[rβΓββ]
where rβ,β are position vectors of the particles while Vβ,β refers to vector differentiation with respect to coordinates of particles 1 or 2 . Introducing the relative position vector
r=rββrβ
and the center of mass vector
R=mβrβ+mβrβ / mβmβ
show that the total angular momentum (1) can be presented as a sum of the angular momentum of the relative motion, and the angular momentum of the translational motion of the entire system as a whole. Your answer should be given in terms of r,R and corresponding differential operators Vr and VR.
