Solution
`v_(mn) = cRZ^2 [1/(n + p)^2 - 1/n^2]`, where m = n + p, (p = 1, 2, 3, ...) and R is Rydberg constant.
For p << n.
`v_(mn) = cRZ^2 [1/n^2 (1 + p/n)^-2 - 1/n^2]`
`v_(mn) = cRZ^2 [1/n^2 - (2p)/n^3 - 1/n^2]`
`v_(mn) = cRZ^2 (2p)/n^3 ≃ ((2cRZ^2)/n^3)p`
Thus, νmn are approximately in the order 1, 2, 3...........
