The number of waves made by an electron moving in an orbit having maximum magnetic quantum number is +3
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The number of waves is equal to n, so n = 4. Therefore, the number of waves made by an electron moving in an orbit with maximum magnetic quantum +3 is 4 waves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore a maximum of three waves are possible.

Detailed explanation-3: -The number of waves made by a Bohr electron in an orbit of maximum magnetic quantum number + 2 is 3. The orbital of maximum magnetic quantum number +2 corresponds to M shell with n=3.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, the number of waved in 3rd orbit =3.

Detailed explanation-5: -Maximum magnetic quantum number m=+2. The value of m is from −l to +l. So, l=2. For a given value of n, l can have values 0 to n−1. So, when l=2, n=3.
