The discussion revolves around the azimuthal quantum number, specifically its range of values from 0 to n-1, and the methods used to determine this range. The scope includes theoretical aspects of quantum mechanics and references to the Schrödinger equation.
Participants generally agree on the established range of the azimuthal quantum number but do not reach a consensus on the detailed methods or resources for understanding this concept fully.
Limitations include potential dependencies on specific definitions of quantum numbers and the mathematical intricacies involved in solving the Schrödinger equation, which remain unresolved in the discussion.
From the algebraic theory of quantum mechanical angular momentum, and solving the Schrödinger equation in three dimensions.Avanthica said:TL;DR Summary: it is known that azimutal quantum number takes the values from 0 to n-1. how did they find it ?

Your textbook should cover the solution to the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom. There are plenty of resources online that cover this. E.g. this looks like it covers the basics without getting into the mathematics of solving the SDE:Avanthica said:i am studying physics in an college affiliated to a univertisy
