Question

According to Maxwell's theory of electrodynamics, an electron going in a circle should emit radiation of frequency equal to its frequency of revolution. What should be the wavelength of the radiation emitted by a hydrogen atom in ground state if this rule is followed ?

Answer 1

Frequency of the revolution in the ground state is V₀/2πr₀  

[r₀ = radius of ground state, V₀ = velocity in the ground state]
