To understand and be able to use the rules for determining allowable orbital angular momentum states.

Several numbers are necessary to describe the states available to an electron in the hydrogen atom. The principal quantum number n determines the energy of the electron. The orbital quantum number l determines the total angular momentum of the electron, and the magnetic quantum number ml determines the component of the angular momentum parallel to a specific axis, usually the z axis.

For a given principal quantum number n, the orbital quantum number can take integer values ranging from zero to n−1. For a given orbital quantum number l, the magnetic quantum number can take integer values from −l to l. A fourth number, the spin ms, is important for interactions with magnetic fields and counting states. The spin can be either +1/2 or −1/2, independent of the values of the other quantum numbers.

The energy of an electron in hydrogen is related to the principal quantum number by En=(−13.60eV)/n^2. The orbital angular momentum is related to the orbital quantum number by L=ℏ√l(l+1), and the orbital angular momentum in the z direction is related to the magnetic quantum number by Lz=mlℏ.

Required:
a. How many different values of I are possible for an electron with principal quantum number n= 5?
b. How many values of mi are possible for an electron with orbital quantum number I= 3?
c. The quantum state of a particle can be specified by giving a complete set of quantum numbers (n, l, mi, ms). How many different quantum states are possible if the principal quantum number is n= 3?
d. Is the state n =3, I =3, m= —2, ms =1/2 an allowable state? If not, why not?
e. What is the maximum angular momentum Lmax that an electron with principal quantum number n= 3 can have?

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s
