If the angular momentum is characterized by the quantum number = 3,what are the possible values of L_z in units of ? A)-3,0,+3 B)-3,-2,-1,0 C)-3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3 D)-2,-1,0,+1,+2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The possible values for L_z are determined by the total angular momentum quantum number (J) and its projection onto the z-axis (M). For J = 3, the values of M can range from -3 to +3, meaning L_z can take on the values -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, and +3. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
