# Confusion in terminology dealing with Energy State of Hydrogen Atom

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
If a hydrogen atom is in an energy state 5g7/2 with mj = 3/2 what is the angular and spin wavefucnction.

I feel I can answer this question, but I am stumped as to the meaning of "a hydrogen atom is in an energy state 5g7/2". I have not seen this way of writing an energy state for a Hydrogen atom so I don't know what to make of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to PF;
What is the problem? Do you not understand the notation?
