In a hydrogen atom,an electron of mass $9.1 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ revolves about a proton in a circular orbit of radius $0.53 \ \mathring{A}$. The radial acceleration and angular velocity of the electron are respectively:

$A$ 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 $keV$.

For a hydrogen atom,when an electron jumps from $n = 2$ to $n = 1$,the wavelength of the radiation emitted is found to be $\lambda_0$. For which transition of an electron in a $He^+$ ion will the wavelength of the radiation emitted be equal to $\lambda_0$?

Four electrons,each of mass $m_{e}$,are in a one-dimensional box of size $L$. Assume that the electrons are non-interacting,obey the Pauli exclusion principle,and are described by standing de Broglie waves confined within the box. Define $\alpha = h^{2} / 8 m_{e} L^{2}$ and $U_{0}$ to be the ground state energy. Then,
