Angular Momentum
Angular Momentum
quantum numbers for the z component of the orbital angular momentum and
has value
may be related to quantum number l in the area of -l to + l. As an example
for l = 1, then the value is probably the m = -1, 0, 1. Characteristics like that for l
and m
is related to the behavior of electrons in atoms. A similar relationship and also
important
in explaining the rotational state of the molecule. As studied in the rotor case
stiff of a diatomic molecule, Hamiltonian operator is comparable with Legendre
operator
in equation (1.100), the wave function for the molecule's rotation will be a
function of spherical harmonics.
