Question

How would the ionization energy change when electron in hydrogen atom is replaced by a particle of mass $200$ times that of electrons but having the same charge?

Open in App

Solution

The minimum energy, required to free the electron from the ground state of the hydrogen atom, is known as lonization Energy.
$E_{0} \propto m$
Therefore, lonization Energy will become 200 times.

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})
