Chapter 39, Problem 39.86CP

(a)

To determine

To show: That the frequency of revolution of an electron is in its circular orbit around a stationary hydrogen nucleus is $f=\frac{m{e}^4}{4{\epsilon }_0^2{n}^3{h}^3}$.

(b)

To determine

To show: That when $n$ is very large the frequency of revolution does indeed equal the radiated frequency calculated from equation $f=\frac{E_i-E_f}{h}$ for a transition from $n_1=n+1$ to $n_2=n$.
