Solve Quantum States: n=6, l=1 Hydrogen Atom

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around determining the number of different quantum states for a hydrogen atom with a principal quantum number of n = 6 and an orbital quantum number of l = 1.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the range of the magnetic quantum number m, which runs from -l to l, and discuss its implications for the number of quantum states.

Discussion Status

The discussion includes attempts to clarify the meaning of the quantum numbers involved. One participant initially expresses confusion but later indicates they have resolved their question.

Contextual Notes

There is a mention of the integer values that m can take, which is relevant to understanding the quantum states, but no specific constraints or additional information are provided.

Can anyone help me find out how to work out how many different quantum states are there in the Hydrogen atom with principal quantum number n = 6 and orbital quantum number l = 1?
Any help?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
in princilpe the m runs from -l to l taking only integer values.
 
im a bit dumber that that...so that means what?
 
i take that back worked it out thanks
