Chapter 7, Problem 7F.1BE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the molecule has to be calculated, when $l=2$ and the possible components of the angular momentum are along the z-axis.

Concept introduction:

The kinetic energy of the particle that circulates in the ring is given by the expression.

    $E_{\text{k}}=\frac{J^2}{2I}$

Where,

• $J$ is the angular momentum.
• $I$ is the moment of inertia.

The magnitude of angular momentum for the 3-Dimensional system is given by,

  $\text{Magnitude}=\sqrt{l\left(l+1\right)}\hslash$
