Understand that the principal quantum number, n, determines the shell level. Here, n=3 indicates the third shell.
Recall that the number of orbitals in a shell is given by the formula n^2, where n is the principal quantum number.
Substitute n=3 into the formula to calculate the number of orbitals: n^2 = 3^2.
Calculate 3^2 to find the total number of orbitals in the third shell.
Conclude that the third shell (n=3) contains 9 orbitals, as calculated from the formula.
