If n=4, what are the possible l values?

• l = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

• l = 0, 1, 2, 3

• l = -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

• l = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3

If l = 2, what are the possible m_l values?

• m_l = 0, 1, 2

• m_l = 0, 1

• m_l = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

• m_l = -1, 0, 1

If n = 3, what are the possible l values?

• l = 0, 1, 2

• l = 0, 1, 2, 3
