Hi everyone!

I can't solve a problem. It is about the following task. How exactly should I proceed here?

Task A): What levels result from a 4F term? How many states are there at each level?

I tried many ways but none of them helped me to solve this problem.
However, I have some basic ideas: We have a F term, this means l=3, ml= -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3. In sum we have 7 levels.
Is this reasoning correct or am I on the wrong track? I would welcome your response, thanks in advance.

(And I would like to apologize for my English skills because I come from a non-English speaking country.)

I assume you are using spectroscopic notation. You have correctly indicated that the "F" signifies L = 3.
What does the "4" in 4F signify?
