In a hydrogen-like atom,an electron makes a transition from an energy level with principal quantum number $n$ to another with principal quantum number $(n - 1)$. If $n >> 1$,the frequency of the emitted radiation is proportional to:
- A$\frac{1}{n^3}$
- B$\frac{1}{n}$
- C$\frac{1}{n^2}$
- D$\frac{1}{n^{3/2}}$
