Physics Asked by HuHu on May 24, 2021
What I know is total angular momentum $vec{j}= vec{ell}+vec{s}$, here $ell=3$ for $f$ state, $s=1/2$ for spin, so the total angular momentum should be $7/2$, is this correct? is there any other allowed values?
If $l=3$ and $s=1/2$ then the values of total angular momentum can take lie within the following range:
$$|l-s|leq Jleq l+s$$
With $J$ incrementing by 1 between these two bounds.
$$therefore 5/2leq Jleq7/2$$
$J$ can take values $5/2$ and $7/2$
If you have a single electron system then your z component of total angular momentum can take on values -5/2,-3/2,-1/2, 1/2, 3/2, 5/2 for J=5/2 and -7/2,-5/2,-3/2,-1/2, 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, 7/2 for J=7/2. Overall you have 14 possible states your electron can be in.
