Problem 6.20

Demonstrate that the frequency ω\omega of a photon emerging when an electron jumps between neighbouring circular orbits of a hydrogen-like ion satisfies the inequality ωn>ω>ωn+1,\omega_{n}>\omega>\omega_{n+1}, where ωn\omega_{n} and ωn+1\omega_{n+1} are the frequencies of revolution of that electron around the nucleus along the circular orbits. Make sure that as nn \rightarrow \infty the frequency of the photon ωωn\omega \rightarrow \omega_{n}.
