Question -

Obtain the first Bohr’s radiusand the ground state energy of a muonic hydrogen atom [i.e.,an atom in which a negatively charged muon (μ) of mass about 207me orbitsaround a proton].



Answer -

Mass of a negatively charged muon, 

According to Bohr’s model,

Bohrradius, 
And, energy of a ground state electronic hydrogen atom,
We have the value of the first Bohr orbit, 

Let rμ bethe radius of muonic hydrogen atom.

At equilibrium, we can write therelation as:

Hence, the value of the firstBohr radius of a muonic hydrogen atom is

2.56 × 10−13 m.

We have,

Ee= − 13.6eV

Take the ratio of these energiesas:

Hence, the ground state energy ofa muonic hydrogen atom is −2.81 keV.
