Oops! May be not SHM

There is no SHM about the nucleus.  The electron will simply be in circular motion around the nucleus at a radius ro and a velocity of c, as given by.

ro=q24πεomec2

However if the electron does not approach close enough ie >ro then it may be possible that the electron over shoot the nucleus only to reverse direction at some distance x then,

12mec2=q24πεox=12kx2

As a first approximation, the resonance is liken to be from Hooke's spring formulation. Speed in the perpendicular direction does not change and so does not concern us here.

kme=c2x2=c2{2πεoq2mec2}2

 f=12πkme=12πc{2πεoq2mec2}

f=mec3εoq2

f=9.10938291e-31*(299792458)^3*8.854187817e-12/(1.602176565e-19)^2=8.4660e21 Hz

Was this resonance from hydrogen ever detected?  The sun might have this resonance.
