For hydrogen atoms in a d state, sketch the orbital angular momentum with respect to the z axis. Use units of U along the z axis and calculate the allowed angles of L with respect to the z axis.
Consider the n = 4 states of hydrogen. (a) What is the maximum magnitude L of the orbital angular momentum? (b) What is the maximum value of Lz? (c) What is the minimum angle between L S and the z-axis? Give your answers to parts (a) and (b) in terms of h.
