Decay of atomic hydrogen

During the twentieth century, physics has accumulated extensive experience in the investigation of atoms. Taking into account this experience, one can started with a simple - to study the motion of a single electron in electric field of an atomic nucleus with an arbitrary number of protons. If the number of protons is 1 then we are talking AbOUT the atomic nucleus of hydrogen. Using atom of the hydrogen as example we can get the following results. Most of created atoms of atomic hydrogen (atomic gas of the hydrogen) immediately decays to the nucleus and the electron which emits slight light front in the form of a conical surface like Cerenkov radiation. (Note that decays of the hydrogen atoms take place only in the case of atomic hydrogen, i.e. only in the case of atomic gas of the hydrogen. The atoms of the hydrogen which are connected in chemical compounds, for example in molecules of water, do not decay as is well known.) The cause of the decay of atomic hydrogen is the electric field strength of the atomic nucleus which is inversely proportional to the distance between the atomic nucleus and the electron by greater than the power of 3. During the decay the electron revolves around the atomic nucleus in a flat spiral that untwists. The speed of the electron decreases slightly during its motion, in particular, because of the electron emits slight light front forming a line of emission line spectrum. However speed of light front that moves away from the atom increases and reaches the speed of light in vacuum. Formation of series of lines of emission line spectrum is linked to repeated creations of atoms of atomic hydrogen after decays.
