    What is L^2Ψ for a 3px state of a H-atom?

    n = 3 l = 1 m = -1, 0, +1 I'm starting to think this is more of a thinking question than a calculation question. If 3p-1 and 3p+1 give one value and 3p0 gives 0 then over 100 measurements the average value would be 0. Does this sound logical? Ashley

    What is L^2Ψ for a 3px state of a H-atom?

    Awesome forum here! I'm stuck on a homework problem and need some guidance. A H-atom exists in a 3px state. What would be the result of measuring the total orbital angular momentum of this state (e.g. 100 measurements)? I assume when they say 100 measurements that they mean the...
