1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
From past paper:
State the selection rules for (electric) quantum numbers n,l,m,s and j.
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
My problem is that looking online, there seems to be an m(s) and m(l). Is the question assuming that I state the selectrion rules for both?
In my lecture notes though, in one of the summaries, it says "delta(m)=0,plusminus1" for selection rules.
The m(s) and m(l) thing has been bugging me a lot lately infact.
