Sorry for bothering...
How does righthand side of formula 5.94 is derived from its left handside after some approximation?
Probably it is very simple question but I could't get that expression:confused:

Thank u very much

Using [itex]e^2 = 16 \pi^2 \alpha^2,[/itex] the left side is

[tex]\frac{2 \pi \alpha^2}{4E^2 + 4E \omega cos \theta}.[/tex]

Now use an exact expression for [itex]E^2[/itex] and a two-term approximation to [itex]E[/itex] to get the right side.
