Great question! The red tick marks are the nine (9) "microstates" that correspond to the ³P ("triplet P") term. The five (5) blue tick marks are the microstates that correspond to the ¹D ("singlet D") term. The final black tick is the one (1) microstate that corresponds to the ¹S ("singlet S") term. The specific color is not important, just that we are using three different colors to distinguish the three (different) terms.
@@lseinjr1 There are place we have 2 or 3 tick it means they have the same Ms and the same ML, how we can know which one is ³P or "singlet D") or singlet S
I had been trying for a long time to getting this kind of video..
Thanks alot to you
From the bottom of my heart ♥
Most welcome 😊

00:08 ML v. MS chart
02:12 ML = -1 to +1, MS = -1 to +1
05:40 ML = -2 to +2, MS = 0
08:44 ML = 0, MS = 0
Thank you very much Professor!
what determines the color of "tick mark'' as you're using them later in your calculation?
