If a small test charge q is placed on the mass m, what frequency
radiation would the pendulum emit when rotating in a circular orbits
at an angle 
? Explain how this leads to the
expectation that the spacing between neighboring levels obey 
, where 
is the
classical period of the motion and 
is the spacing between
successive quantum states.
