It is possible that a muon be captured by a proton to form a muonic atom. A muon is identic to an electron, except when your mass, which is m = 105.7 MeV/c^2. What ia the smallest wave length for a Lyman series for this atom? Give your answer in pm.
A hydrogen atom emits a photon when its electron shifts from a higher energy level to a lower one. Suppose that one atom emits a photon whose wavelength equals 656 nm. If the energy levels are defined by the quantum number n (where n = 1, 2, 3,   ), what were the initial and final values of n? ni=.  ? nf=.  ?
In hydrogen atom, an electron undergoes transition from 3rd excited state to the first excited state and then to the ground state. Identify the spectral series to which these transitions belong. (ii) Find out the ratio of the wavelengths of the emitted radiations in the two cases.
