Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that for $n=1$, the only acceptable value for l is 0. Thus, the angular moment is zero for n=1. (b) Yes, for $n>1$ there are n values and one of these values is always zero, hence the angular momentum can be zero for any value of n.
