Hydrogen wavefunctions transitioning between states with different quantum numbers 𝒏,𝒍,𝒎.

Each transition shows a state α|𝒏𝒍𝒎⟩+β|𝒏'𝒍'𝒎'⟩, where α decreases and β increases. Dots represent the values of 𝒏𝒍𝒎, and the solid lines show possible allowed values.

This animation shows the spatial probability density of finding an electron in a hydrogen atom.

The quantum numbers 𝒏,𝒍,𝒎 are the parameters which specify the state of the hydrogen atom:

• 𝒏: total energy
• 𝒍: total angular momentum
• 𝒎: z-component of angular momentum
