This page was modified on 11Sept09
to add the following assignment:
Please go to

and investigate the properties of the spherical harmonics.  On this page the two quantum numbers are called l and m.

In the upper right there are boxes for choosing between the +m complex function, the –m complex function, the real cosine function and the “real” sine function.  (The sine function itself is real but the normalization constant includes i.)
It is also possible to choose between the wave function (which is often complex) and the wave function squared, which is a distribution function and is always both real and non-negative.
The values of l and m can be varied, but the software prevents illegal values of m (|m| > l).  Remember that s, p, d, and f orbitals correspond to l = 0, 1, 2, and 3.  Since the –m wave functions are selected in the upper right the value of m in the box at the bottom cannot be negative.
(If m=0 the +m and –m and cosine functions are all the same.  If m=0 no sine function is displayed).
