Question

(a) What is the lowest possible energy (in electron volts) of an electron in hydrogen if its orbital angular momentum is $\sqrt{20}$ $\hbar$$?$ (b) What are the largest and smallest values of the $z$-component of the orbital angular momentum (in terms of $\hbar$) for the electron in part (a)? (c) What are the largest and smallest values of the spin angular momentum (in terms of $\hbar$) for the electron in part (a)$?$ (d) What are the largest and smallest values of the orbital angular momentum (in terms of $\hbar$) for an electron in the $M$ shell of hydrogen?
