The energy of a hydrogen atom is 12.09 eV above its groundstate energy. As a multiple of h, what is the largest angular momentum that this atom could have?
Angular momentum and Spin. An electron in an H-atom has orbital angular momentum
magnitude and z-component given by
L² = 1(1+1)ħ²,
L₂ = m₂h,
1 = 0,1,2,..., n-1
m₁ = 0, +1, +2, ..., ±l

Consider an excited electron (n > 1) on an H-atom.
What is the minimum angle 0min that the S can have with the z-axis?
Clue: the angle a vector with magnitude V from the z-axis can be computed from
cos 0 = V²/V
