from math import sqrt
print "The possible values for m are [+2,-2] and hence any of the 5 components [-2h,2h] are possible for the L vector.";
print "Length of the vector as found out previously is %.2f*h.",round(sqrt(6),4);#angular momentum==sqrt(l(l+1)) h

The possible values for m are [+2,-2] and hence any of the 5 components [-2h,2h] are possible for the L vector.
Length of the vector as found out previously is %.2f*h. 2.4495
