On your balloon, mark: \begin{itemize} \item $\theta=0$ \item $\phi=0$ \item The value of your $Y_{\ell}^m$ (using an Argand-like diagram) at several values of $\theta$ and $\phi$. \end{itemize} Answer the following questions: \begin{enumerate} \item What happens at the poles? \vfill \item How many times does the phase complete a full rotation around the equator? \vfill \item Compare with a group with a different spherical harmonic. How do they compare? What would happen if you add them together? \end{enumerate} \vfill \leftline{\it by Corinne Manogue, Ethan Minot, Mary Bridget Kustusch} \leftline{\copyright 2012 Corinne A.
