The electron in the Li ²⁺ ion is replaced by a meson which has the same charge as the electron. Such an ion is called a Li ²⁺ mesic ion. Let E_ B be the binding energy of the hydrogen atom, and r_ B the Bohr radius. You may take the mass of a meson to be 200 times the mass of electron. Which of the following statements is/are true for the Li ²⁺ mesic ion?
Options
- AThe binding energy is 1800 E_ B .
- BThe radius of the meson in the ground state is r_ B / 1800 .
- CThe angular momentum in the ground state is 200 h / 2 , where h is Planck's constant.
- DThe Balmer series will be in the infrared wavelengths.
Correct answer
A. The binding energy is 1800 E_ B .
