The electron in a hydrogen atom with anenergy of -0.544 eV is in a subshell with 18 states. (a) What is theprincipal quantum number, n, for this atom? (b) What is the maximum possible orbital angular momentum this atom can have?(c) Is the number of states in the subshell with the next lowestvalue of / equal to 16, 14, or 12? Explain.
What is the answer
We want to look at the angular momentum structure of one electronic level of an atom.
a. The atom has orbital angular momentum L, electron spin angular momentum S and nuclear angular momentum I. For very large magnetic fields B, what are the quantum numbers and energies?
b. In addition to the static B field along the z axis, we add a transverse oscillating magnetic field. Which states are now coupled by the oscillating field, i.e. between which states are transitions induced?
