Homework Statement
What are the orbital angular momentum possible values for an electron in a hydrogen atom with a principal quantum number n = 3?
Homework Equations
[itex]L = \sqrt{l(l+1)}\hbar[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
Possible values for l are 0, 1, 2.
So, substituting these in the equation above I get: 0, √2[itex]\hbar[/itex], √6[itex]\hbar[/itex].
Is this the right answer?
