Solution:
When n= 2, l can have the values 0 and 1.
If l=0, ml can only be 0.
If l=1, ml can be -1, 0, or +1.
Hence, we have a 2s state with quantum numbers
n= 2, l=1, ml =0
n= 2, l=1, ml =0

Solution:
The reduced mass of positronium is less than hydrogen,
so the photon energy will be less for positronium than
for hydrogen. This means that the wavelength of the
emitted photon will be longer than 656.3 nm.
On the other hand, helium has about the same reduced
mass but more charge than hydrogen, so its transition
energy will be larger, corresponding to a wavelength
shorter than 656.3 nm.
All the factors in the given equation are constant for this
problem except for the reduced mass and the nuclear charge.
Therefore, the wavelength corresponding to the energy
difference for the transition can be found simply from the
ratio of mass and charge variables.
