In a hypothetical Bohr hydrogen atom,the mass of the electron is doubled. The energy $E_0$ and the radius $r_0$ of the first orbit will be ($a_0$ is the Bohr radius).

The radius of a hydrogen atom in its ground state is $5.3 \times 10^{-11} \ m$. After collision with an electron,it is found to have a radius of $21.2 \times 10^{-11} \ m$. What is the principal quantum number $n$ of the final state of the atom?

In the Auger process,an atom makes a transition to a lower state without emitting a photon. The excess energy is transferred to an outer electron which may be ejected by the atom. (This is called an Auger electron). Assuming the nucleus to be massive,calculate the kinetic energy of an $n = 4$ Auger electron emitted by Chromium by absorbing the energy from an $n = 2$ to $n = 1$ transition.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in a circular orbit under the influence of the central force $F(r) = -kr$,corresponding to the potential energy $V(r) = \frac{1}{2}kr^2$,where $k$ is a positive force constant and $r$ is the radial distance from the origin. According to Bohr's quantization rule,the angular momentum of the particle is given by $L = n\hbar$,where $\hbar = \frac{h}{2\pi}$,$h$ is Planck's constant,and $n$ is a positive integer. If $v$ and $E$ are the speed and total energy of the particle,respectively,then which of the following expression$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ $r^2 = n\hbar \sqrt{\frac{1}{mk}}$
$(B)$ $v^2 = n\hbar \sqrt{\frac{k}{m^3}}$
$(C)$ $\frac{L}{mr^2} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$
$(D)$ $E = \frac{n\hbar}{2} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

Consider the $3^{rd}$ orbit of $He^{+}$ (Helium) using a non-relativistic approach. The speed of the electron in this orbit will be (given $K = 9 \times 10^9 \; N \cdot m^2/C^2$,$Z = 2$,and $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \; J \cdot s$).
