Consider an electron bound in a three dimensional simple harmonic oscillator potential in the n=1 state. Recall that the e- has spin 1/2 and that the n=1 level of the oscillator has l =1. Thus, there are six states {|n=1, l=1, ml, ms} with ml= +1, 0, -1 and ms = +/- 1/2. - Using these states as a basis find the six states with definite j and mj where J = L +s - What are the energy levels...
