1) what will happen to the electron's orbital frequency?

2)If an electron spirals into the nucleus, what would happen to the frequency of the emitted radiation?

3)If an electron spirals into the nucleus, what kind of spectrum would be produced – a continuous spectrum or a line spectrum?  Explain.


I need an answer quick THANKS!!!

If an electron were able to do this its angular velocity ω, and hence frequency (ω = 2πf), would increase as radius decreases .. according to the law of conservation of (angular) momentum

A line spectrum. Electron energy is quantized, it has to release a set amount of energy to go down an energy level.
