Question

Of the following which is/are correct? Give justification.

(a) n = 2 l = 1 m = 0 s = +½ 

(b) n = 3 l = 3 m = 2 s =-½ 

(c) n = 4 l = 3 m = 1 s = +½ 

(d) n = 3 l = 2 m = 3 s = +½

Answer 1

(a) n = 2 f = 1 m = 0 s = +½ 

(c) n = 4 f = 3 m=1 s= -½ 

Option (b) is wrong because when n = 3, ^ = 0, 1, 2. 

Option (d) is wrong because when l = 2, m = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2.
