A negatively charged muon (µ¯) has the same charge as as electron, but it isheavier. Imagine a hydrogen-like atom in which the electron is replaced by amuon. Such atoms are called muonic atoms, and they can be produced inthe laboratory. Assume that such an atom can be described in the same wayas the normal Bohr atom.(a) What is the ground state energy of a muonic hydrogen atom?(b) What is the radius of the muon's orbit in the ground state of a muonichydrogen atom?(c) What is the radius of the muon's orbit in the ground state of a muoniclead atom (Z = 82), i.e., a lead nucleus with one muon (and no electrons)orbiting it? Compare this with the radius of the lead nucleus (about 7 fm).What does this tell you about the muon's "orbital path?"

X-ray is produced by bombarding a tungsten target with high energy electrons accelerated by 8.8 kV of voltage. Use σ = 1 for the electron transition down to K shell (n = 1) and σ = 7.4 for the electron transition down to L shell (n = 2) for characteristic X-ray. What is energy of the characteristic X-ray of the tungsten (Z = 74) target when the electron in n = 4 orbital moves down to n = 1? What is the energy the characteristic X-ray of the tungsten (Z = 74) target when the electron in n = 3 orbital moves down to n = 2?
The nucleus of a typical atom is 5.0 fm (1 fm = 10-15 m) in diameter. A very simple model of the nucleus is a onedimensional box in which protons are confined. Estimate the energy of a proton in the nucleus by finding the first three allowed energies of a proton in a 5.0-fm-long box.
