Answer

$l$ is called the orbital quantum number. $L$ is the angular momentum. $L = \sqrt{l~(l+1)}~\hbar$

Work Step by Step

$l$ is called the orbital quantum number. The orbital quantum number is an integer such that $l = 0,1,2,3,...$ $L$ is the angular momentum. $L$ is related to $l$ as follows: $L = \sqrt{l~(l+1)}~\hbar$
