Zeke Says That the Magnitude of the Orbital Angular Momentum

question 6

Multiple Choice

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.
