Question

Calculate the orbital angular momentum of the following orbitals:
(a) $3p$ (b) $3d$ (c) $3s$.

Answer 1

(a) $\sqrt{2}h$ (b) $\sqrt{6}h$ (c) $0$.

The solutions are as follows:
(a) ${\mu }_l=\sqrt{l(l+1)}\frac{h}{2\pi }$ for $3p$, $l=1=\sqrt{2}h$
(b) ${\mu }_l=\sqrt{6}h$ for $3d,l=2$
(c) ${\mu }_l=0$ for $3s,l=0$.
