Zeke says that the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum in the hydrogen atom has the value L = . Ruth says that the maximum magnitude of the projection of the angular momentum along the direction of a constant magnetic field vector
is
. Which one, if either, is correct, and why?
A) Ruth, because the maximum value of L is .
B) Ruth, because the orbital angular momentum always lines up with a magnetic field so that has its maximum value along the field.
C) Zeke, because the maximum magnitude of is L =
.
D) Zeke, because the orbital angular momentum always lines up with a magnetic field so that has its maximum value along the field.
E) Neither, because they have interchanged the maximum magnitude of ,
, and
, its maximum projection along a magnetic field direction.
