Answer

a) $n=5$ b) $L=4.7256\times 10^{-34}J.s$ c) 14

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $E_{n}=\frac{-13.6}{n^2}eV$ $\implies -0.544=\frac{-13.6}{n^2}$ This simplifies to: $n=5$ (b) We know that $L=\sqrt{l(l+h)}\frac{h}{2\pi}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $L=\sqrt{4(4+1)}(\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{2\times 3.14})$ $L=4.7256\times 10^{-34}J.s$ (c) For a given value of $l$, the possible values of $m_s$ are $2(2l+1)$. In the given scenario, $l=3$, so the number of states in this sub shell is: $2[2(3)+1]=2(6+1)=14$
