Modern Physics for Engineers Lecture slides 10e – Spherical harmonics and atomic orbitals

This lecture part relates the description of spherical harmonics in terms of quantum numbers (usually l and m in quantum mechanics) to the "spdf" notation common in discussing atomic orbitals in chemistry, and relates them to angular momentum in quantum mechanics. (slides)
