The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the radius of the first Bohr orbit of a muonic atom and its ionization energy, we will follow these steps: ### Part a: Finding the Radius of the First Bohr Orbit 1. **Identify the Masses**: - The mass of the muon (\(m_\mu\)) is approximately \(207\) times the mass of the electron (\(m_e\)). - The mass of the proton (\(m_p\)) is approximately \(1836\) times the mass of the electron (\(m_e\)). \[ m_\mu = 207 m_e \] \[ m_p = 1836 m_e \] 2. **Calculate the Reduced Mass**: The reduced mass (\(\mu\)) of the system (muon and proton) is given by the formula: \[ \mu = \frac{m_\mu m_p}{m_\mu + m_p} \] Substituting the values: \[ \mu = \frac{(207 m_e)(1836 m_e)}{207 m_e + 1836 m_e} = \frac{207 \times 1836}{207 + 1836} m_e \] \[ \mu = \frac{380772}{2043} m_e \approx 186 m_e \] 3. **Use the Bohr Model to Find the Radius**: The radius of the first orbit (\(r_1\)) in a hydrogen-like atom is given by: \[ r_n = \frac{n^2 h^2 \epsilon_0}{\pi m e^2} \] For the first orbit (\(n=1\)): \[ r_1 = \frac{h^2 \epsilon_0}{\pi m_e e^2} \] For the muonic atom, the radius is scaled by the ratio of the electron mass to the reduced mass: \[ r' = \frac{m_e}{\mu} r_1 \] Substituting the values: \[ r' = \frac{m_e}{186 m_e} \times 5.29 \times 10^{-11} \text{ m} \approx \frac{1}{186} \times 5.29 \times 10^{-11} \text{ m} \approx 2.85 \times 10^{-13} \text{ m} \] ### Part b: Finding the Ionization Energy 1. **Use the Energy Formula**: The energy of the first orbit in a hydrogen-like atom is given by: \[ E_n = -\frac{13.6 \, \text{eV}}{n^2} \] For the first orbit (\(n=1\)): \[ E_1 = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \] 2. **Calculate the Ionization Energy for the Muonic Atom**: The energy for the muonic atom is scaled by the ratio of the reduced mass to the electron mass: \[ E'_1 = \frac{\mu}{m_e} E_1 \] Substituting the values: \[ E'_1 = \frac{186 m_e}{m_e} \times (-13.6 \, \text{eV}) = -186 \times 13.6 \, \text{eV} \approx -2.53 \, \text{eV} \] ### Final Answers: - **Radius of the first Bohr orbit of the muonic atom**: \(r' \approx 2.85 \times 10^{-13} \text{ m}\) - **Ionization energy of the muonic atom**: \(E' \approx 2.53 \, \text{eV}\)

To solve the problem of finding the radius of the first Bohr orbit of a muonic atom and its ionization energy, we will follow these steps: ### Part a: Finding the Radius of the First Bohr Orbit 1. **Identify the Masses**: - The mass of the muon (\(m_\mu\)) is approximately \(207\) times the mass of the electron (\(m_e\)). - The mass of the proton (\(m_p\)) is approximately \(1836\) times the mass of the electron (\(m_e\)). ...
