Obtain the first BohrтАЩs radiusand the ground state energy of a┬аmuonic┬аhydrogen atom┬а[i.e.,an atom in which a negatively charged muon (╬╝тИТ) of mass about 207me┬аorbitsaround a proton].



Answer -

Mass of a negatively charged muon,┬а

According to BohrтАЩs model,

Bohrradius,┬а
And, energy of a ground state┬аelectronic┬аhydrogen┬аatom,
We have the value of the first Bohr orbit,┬а

Let┬аr╬╝┬аbethe radius of┬аmuonic hydrogen atom.

At equilibrium, we can write therelation as:

Hence, the value of the firstBohr radius of a┬аmuonic hydrogen atom┬аis

2.56 ├Ч 10тИТ13┬аm.

We have,

Ee= тИТ 13.6eV

Take the ratio of these energiesas:

Hence, the ground state energy ofa┬аmuonic hydrogen atom┬аis тИТ2.81 keV.
