In a muonic atom, the electron is replaced by a negatively charged particle called the muon. The muon mass is 207 times heavier than the electron mass. (a) Ignoring the correction for finite nuclear mass, what is the shortest wavelength of the Lyman series in a muonic hydrogen atom? In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this belong? (b) How large is the correction for the finite nuclear mass in this case?
