To solve the problem step by step, we will address both parts (a) and (b) of the question regarding the muonic atom. ### Part (a): Finding the Distance Between the Muon and Proton 1. **Understanding the System**: - A muon (\( \mu^- \)) is captured by a proton (\( p \)) to form a muonic atom. The muon has a mass of \( 207 m_e \) (where \( m_e \) is the mass of an electron) and a charge of \( -e \). 2. **Reduced Mass Calculation**: ...
