A particle in a central potential has an orbital angular momentum l = 2 and a spin s = 1. Find the energy level shift and total degeneracy associated with the highest energy state arising from a spin-orbit interaction of the form Hso = A L · S, where A is a positive constant.
- 1Eso = Aℏ2 with degeneracy 3
- 2Eso = -3Aℏ2 with degeneracy 5
- 3Eso = -Aℏ2 with degeneracy 7
- 4Eso = 2Aℏ2 with degeneracy 7✓
Correct answer
Eso = 2Aℏ2 with degeneracy 7
