Physics · Dual Nature of Matter and Atoms
The radius of the first permitted Bohr orbit for the electron in a hydrogen atom equals 0.51 Å and its ground state energy equals -13.6 eV. If the electron in the hydrogen atom is replaced by a muon (μ-) [which has the same charge as an electron but a mass equal to 207 me], the first Bohr radius and ground state energy will be approximately:
- 125.6 × 10-13 m, -2.8 eV
- 20.53 × 10-13 m, -3.6 eV
- 32.56 × 10-13 m, -13.6 eV
- 42.56 × 10-13 m, -2.8 keV✓
Correct answer
2.56 × 10-13 m, -2.8 keV
