Positronium is a short-lived (≈10−9 s)\left(\approx 10^{-9} \mathrm{~s}\right) bound state of an electron and a positron (a positively charged particle with mass and charge equal (in magnitude) to an electron) revolving round their common centre of mass. If E0,v0\mathrm{E}_0, \mathrm{v}_0 and a0\mathrm{a}_0 are respectively the ground state energy, the orbital speed of electron in first orbit and the radius of the first ( n=1n=1 ) Bohr orbit for Hydrogen atom, the corresponding quantities E,v\mathrm{E}, \mathrm{v} and a for the positronium are

Options

  1. AE=E02E=\frac{E_0}{2}
  2. Ba=a0a=a_0
  3. Ca=2a0a=2 a_0
  4. DE=E0,v=v0,a=a0E=E_0, v=v_0, a=a_0

Correct answer

C. a=2a0a=2 a_0
