      The inverse square law in electrostatics is for the force between an electron and a proton. The  dependence of I F I can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the 'particle' of light (photon) is mass less. If photons had a mass nip, force would be modified to Estimate the change in the ground state energy of a H-atom if mp-were 10-6 times the mass of an electron.

    Answer:

                      Here, we suppose mass of photon, electronic mass                          Which is much larger than Bohr radius. As             ? (i)                 ?(ii) therefore from (i)                                      ?(iii) From (iii), Neglecting  , we get                              From (ii) ,     i.e., V(r) remains unchanged. Total energy Change in ground state energy of hydrogen atom,
