In some places I saw that the module of the kinetic orbital momentum of an electron in an atom is
a) L^2=l(l+1)h^/(4pi^2) ==> L =h/(2pi)sqrt(l*(l+1)) l=0,1,2,...n-1
b) L=n*h/(2pi)
n beeing the energy level of an electron .
Now , my opinion is that the first is true . But I saw some problems solved using only the second value . I'm really confused . Which one is it ?
Thank you !
