Obtain an expression for the frequency of radiation emitted when a hydrogen atom de-excites from level $n$ to level $(n-1)$. For large $n$,show that this frequency equals the classical frequency of revolution of the electron in the orbit.

Assertion : Bohr had to postulate that the electrons in stationary orbits around the nucleus do not radiate.
Reason : According to classical physics all moving electrons radiate.

For $He^{+}$, a transition takes place from the orbit of radius $105.8 \ pm$ to the orbit of radius $26.45 \ pm$. The wavelength (in $nm$) of the emitted photon during the transition is. . . . .
