If the total energy of an electron in an orbit is positive,then

In the Bohr model,an electron moves in a circular orbit around the nucleus. Considering an orbiting electron to be a circular current loop,the magnetic moment of the hydrogen atom,when the electron is in the $n^{th}$ excited state,is ($e=$ electronic charge,$m_{e}=$ mass of the electron,$h=$ Planck's constant).

$A$ particular hydrogen-like ion emits radiation of frequency $3 \times 10^{15} \,Hz$ when it makes a transition from $n=2$ to $n=1$. The frequency of radiation emitted in a transition from $n=3$ to $n=1$ is $\frac{x}{9} \times 10^{15} \,Hz$, where $X = \text{ . . . . . . }$.

The following statements are given about the hydrogen atom:
