    In a hypothetical Bohr hydrogen, 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)                                       [Roorkee 1992]

    A)    \[{{E}_{0}}=-\ 27.2\ eV;\ {{r}_{0}}={{a}_{0}}/2\]                

    B)            \[{{E}_{0}}=-\ 27.2\ eV;\ {{r}_{0}}={{a}_{0}}\]

    C)            \[{{E}_{0}}=-13.6\ eV;\ {{r}_{0}}={{a}_{0}}/2\]          

    D)            \[{{E}_{0}}=-13.6\ eV;\ {{r}_{0}}={{a}_{0}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Here radius of electron orbit \[r\propto 1/m\]and energy E µ m, where m is the mass of the electron. Hence energy of hypothetical atom \[{{E}_{0}}=2\times (-13.6\,eV)=-27.2\,eV\] and radius \[{{r}_{0}}=\frac{{{a}_{0}}}{2}\]
