$A$ muon is an unstable particle with a mass of $207 \, m_e$ and a charge of either $+e$ or $-e$. $A$ muon $(\mu^-)$ is captured by a hydrogen nucleus to form a muonic atom. If the proton captures the $\mu^-$, find the ionization energy of this atom in $keV$.

  • A
    $2.53$
  • B
    $1.78$
  • C
    $3.16$
  • D
    $1.76$
