The Muon Has the Same Charge as an Electron but Has

question 61

Multiple Choice

The muon has the same charge as an electron but has a mass that is 207 times greater.The negatively charged muon can bind to a proton to form a new type of hydrogen atom.How does the energy of a muon in the first excited state E_m1 of a muonic hydrogen atom compare with the energy of an electron in the first excited state E_e1of a conventional hydrogen atom?

• A)|E_m1|\(\approx\)|E_e1|
• B)|E_m1|\(\approx\)100|E_e1|
• C)|E_m1|\(\approx\)|E_e1|/100
• D)|E_m1|\(\approx\)200|E_e1|
• E)|E_m1|\(\approx\)|E_e1|/200
