Two positrons (e+) and two protons (p) are kept on four corners of a square of side a as shown in figure. The mass of proton is much larger than the mass of positron. Let q denotes the charge on the proton as well as the position then the kinetic energies of one of the positrons and one of the protons respectively after a very long time will be-

In an ordianary atom, as a first approximation, the motion of the nucleus can be ignored. In a positronium atom a positronreplaces the proton of hydrogen atom. The electron and positron masses are equal and , therefore , the motion of the positron cannot be ignored. One must consider the motion of both electron and positron about their center of mass. A detailed analyasis shows that formulae of Bohr's model apply to positronium atom provided that we replace m_(e) by what is known reduced mass is m_(e)//2 . If the Rydberg constant for hydrogen atom is R , then the Rydberg constant for positronium atom is
