[QUOTE="binbagsss, post: 4957988, member: 252335"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] When we use ##J^{/pm} ## where ##/pm## gives the parity, some sources say ##J## is the spin and some say the total angular momentum, I'm confused ! Also in my notes we have ##P=(-1)^l##, but looking on this thread: [url]https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/quick-question-about-spin-parity-j-p-notation.455873/[/url] it has ##P=-1^{spin}##.? Also confused with some other notation.. when we write ## ^{J} l_{symbol _s}##, where ##J## is the total angular momentuum, ##s## is the spin and ##l_{symbol}## is ##s,p,d,f..## corresponding to ##l=0,1,2...##. So looking at things such as ##^{3}D_{1}## I see we have ##l=2, s=1, J=3## and we know ##J=(l+s)+...+##modulus of ##(l-s)##* BUT looking at ##^{3}S_{1}## we have ##l=0,s=1,J=3## . Which I'm confused how you get ##J=3## from *.. [B]Thanks in advance..[/B] [B][I]2. Homework Equations [/I][/B] [B][I]3. The Attempt at a Solution [/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
