A Muon is a particle that has the same charge as an electron but is 200 times heavier than it . if we had an atoms in which the muon revolves around a Proton instead of an electron what would be the value of magnetic moment of the muon in the ground state of such an atom

Open in App

Solution

Magnetic moment does not depend on the mass. Thus magnetic moment remains unaffected.

A formula analogous to the Rydberg formula applies to the series of spectral lines which arise from transitions from higher energy level to the lower energy level of hydrogen atom.
A muonic hydrogen atom is like a hydrogen atom in which the electron is replaced by a heavier particle, the 'muon'. The mass of the muon is about

207

times the mass of an electron, while the charge remains same as that of the electron. Rydberg formula for hydrogen atom is:

\frac{1}{λ} = R_{H} [\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}] (R_{H} = 109678 {c m}^{- 1})
