Question
Given the first two associated Legendre functions, \( P_l^{|m|}(x) \):

\[
P_0^0(x) = 1
\]

\[
P_1^0(x) = x
\]

where the normalization constant is 

\[
\sqrt{\frac{2l+1}{2} \frac{(l-|m|)!}{(l+|m|)!}}
\]

(a) Show that the associated Legendre functions form an orthonormal set.

(b) Show that it is mathematically impossible for \(|m| > l\).

(c) Show that it is physically impossible for \(|m| > l\). (Hint: Look at the structure of the periodic table.)
