Question
When a negatively charged muon
(mass 207me is captured in a Bohr's
orbit of high principal quantum
number (n) to form a mesic atom,
it cascades down to lower orbits
emitting X-rays and the radii of the
mesic atom are shrunk by afactor
of about 200 compared withthe
corresponding Bohr's atom. Explain.
