12.17 Mass of a negatively charged muon, = 207
According to Bohr's model
Bohr radius,
And, energy of a ground state electronic hydrogen atom
Also, the energy of a ground state muonic hydrogen atom,
We have the value of the first Bohr orbit, = 0.53 Å = 0.53 m
Let be the radius of muonic hydrogen atom
At equilibrium, we can write the relation as:
=
207 =
= =2.56 m
Hence, the value of the first Bohr radius of a muonic hydrogen atom is 2.56 m
We have = -13.6 eV
Take the ratio of these energies as:
= =
= 207 = 207 = -2.81 keV
Hence, the ground state energy of a muonic hydrogen atom is -2.81 keV.
