Consider the combined system of proton and electron in the hydrogen atom in its (electronic) ground state. Let $$I$$ denotes the quantum number associated with the total angular momentum and let \[ < \mathfrak{M} > \] denote the magnitude of the expectation value of the net magnetic moment in the state. Which of the following pairs represents a possible state of the system (\[{\mu _B}\] is Bohr magneton)?
