Suppose an electron in an atom experiences an attractive force towards the nucleus given by $F = k/r$,where $k$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance of the electron from the nucleus. Applying the Bohr model to this system,the radius of the $n^{th}$ orbit $r_n$ and the kinetic energy of the electron in that orbit $K_n$ are found. Which of the following relationships is correct?

  • A
    $K_n \propto 1/n, r_n \propto n^2$
  • B
    $K_n \propto 1/n^2, r_n \propto n^2$
  • C
    $K_n$ is independent of $n$; $r_n \propto n$
  • D
    $K_n \propto 1/n, r_n \propto n$

$A$ moving Hydrogen atom makes a head-on collision with a stationary Hydrogen atom. Before the collision,both atoms are in the ground state,and after the collision,they move together. The minimum kinetic energy of the moving Hydrogen atom,such that one of the atoms reaches the excitation state,is (in $eV$)

The radius of the first permitted Bohr orbit for the electron in a hydrogen atom equals $0.53 \mathring{A}$ and its ground state energy equals $-13.6 \; eV$. If the electron in the hydrogen atom is replaced by a muon $(\mu^{-})$ [charge same as electron and mass $207 m_{e}$], the first Bohr radius and ground state energy will be:
