This is an impossible situation as l (L) can never exceed n. The allowable values of l (L) are 0, 1 , 2,..., n-1. So you see in this case l would have to be either 0 or 1. m in THIS case may be -1, 0, 1.

Are you sure about the l (L) value?

When n = 2 "l "can not equal 3 because "l" has values from
0 up to (n-1)
