I doubt it is first year spectroscopy problem. It is a much higher level of spectroscopy. Anyhow looking into your background I will try to explain your question in as simple manner as possible so that you may not get confused.

Magnetic quantum number ml designates the orientation of electronic orbitals. So if we have five d electrons ,one each in five d orbitals we will have l values as -2,-1,0,+1,+2 and a total L value equal to (-2)+(-1)+(0)+(+1)+(+2) = 0. Acording to ...
