Question

Which expression gives the orbital frequency used to calculate the initial frequency of light emitted under classical electromagnetic theory?

Options

• \[\nu=2\pi rv\]

• \[\nu=\frac{v}{r^2}\]

• \[\nu=\frac{v}{2\pi r}\]

• \[\nu=\frac{r}{2\pi v}\]

Answer 1

The orbital frequency is \[\nu=\frac{v}{2\pi r}\]. In the classical prediction, the initial frequency of emitted light equals this frequency of revolution.
