Understand the quantum numbers: The principal quantum number (n) indicates the shell, and the azimuthal quantum number (l) indicates the type of orbital.
Identify the principal quantum number (n): The problem specifies the fourth shell, so n = 4.
Identify the azimuthal quantum number (l): The problem specifies l = 3. The azimuthal quantum number corresponds to different orbital types: s (l=0), p (l=1), d (l=2), f (l=3).
Combine n and l to identify the orbital: Since n = 4 and l = 3, the orbital is 4f.
Review the options provided: The correct orbital based on n = 4 and l = 3 is 4f, which matches the correct answer given in the problem.
