To solve the problem, we need to compute the frequency of electromagnetic radiation emitted by an electron in a hydrogen atom during a transition between adjoining orbits, according to both classical and quantum theories. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Frequency of Electron Revolution in Classical Physics According to classical physics, an electron in a circular orbit emits electromagnetic radiation with a frequency equal to its orbital frequency. The frequency \( f \) of an electron in the \( n \)-th orbit can be derived from the formula: \[ f = \frac{m e^4}{4 \pi \epsilon_0^2 n^3 h^2} ...
