In a hypothetical hydrogen-like atom, the electron is replaced by a negatively charged particle of mass (where is the mass of an electron). The angular momentum of this particle in a particular Bohr orbit is given as . If and are the radius of the first Bohr orbit and the ground state energy of a normal hydrogen atom respectively, what are the radius and energy of the particle in this specific orbit?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
According to Bohr's quantization condition, the angular momentum in the orbit is given by .
Given , we have .
The radius of the Bohr orbit is inversely proportional to the mass of the orbiting particle and directly proportional to ().
For the normal hydrogen atom, .
