Solution

Actually, the energy of each orbit is fixed in which the electrons revolve continuously without loosing energy. The energy of each orbit is given by an expression,

E = 2 π2me4 / n2h2 = -1312/ n2 KJ/mol

So, electron does not looses energy while revolving in a particular stationary orbit. However, they loose or gain energy when jumps to lower or higher energy levels respectively.
