Correspondence principle

From this point on in the problem, make the simplifying assumption that ! Under these conditions, use your result from 4.4 to determine the spacing between neighboring energy levels in terms of the angle of the pendulum and verify explicitly that the behavior predicted in 4.2 is seen.
