The Eigenvalues of an Operator with an Orthonormal Eigenbasis

Let $V$ together with $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle$ be a complex inner product space with zero vector $0_{V}$. Let $n$ be a natural number, let $[n]$ be the initial segment determined by $n$, and let $e\in V^{n}$ be an $n$-tuple in $V$ that is an orthonormal basis of $V$, with components $e_{k}$. Let $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}^{n}$ be an $n$-tuple with components $\lambda_{k}$ in the field $\mathbb{C}$ of complex numbers, and let $T$ be a linear operator on $V$ satisfying

Such $e$ and $\lambda$ exist whenever $V$ is finite-dimensional with $V\ne\{0_{V}\}$ and $T$ is self-adjoint, by Spectral Theorem for a Self-Adjoint Operator in Finite Dimensions.

Let $\mu$ be a complex number. Then $\mu$ is an eigenvalue of $T$ if and only if there is some $j\in[n]$ with $\mu=\lambda_{j}$.
