Homework Statement



Find all possible values of L, Lz, and θ for an electron in a 3d state of hydrogen.


I confuse it long time..

explain me please..

Do you not have any resource to work from or a textbook? Usually you have to offer some attempt at the solution.
 
the answer is

L = [tex]\sqrt{6h}[/tex]

Lz = -2h, -h, h or 2h

but I don't know its solution.
 
Ask yourself, what do the 3 and d mean for a 3d state, what are the values of l and n for a 3d state of H?
