Chapter 41, Problem 41.48P

(a)

To determine

The lowest possible energy of an electron in hydrogen if its orbital angular momentum is $\sqrt{20}\hslash$.

(b)

To determine

The largest and smallest values of the $z$-component of orbital angular momentum (in terms of $\sout{h}$) for the electron in part (a).

(c)

To determine

The largest and smallest values of the spin angular momentum (in terms of $\sout{h}$) for the electron in part (a).

(d)

To determine

The largest and smallest values of the orbital angular momentum (in terms of $\sout{h}$) for an electron in the M shell of hydrogen.
