The radius of the first orbit of hydrogen is $r_{H}$,and the energy in the ground state is $-13.6 \text{ eV}$. Considering a $\mu^{-}$-particle with a mass $207 m_e$ revolving around a proton as in a hydrogen atom,the energy and radius of the proton and $\mu^{-}$-combination respectively in the first orbit are (assume the nucleus to be stationary):

In the Bohr model of a hydrogen-like atom,the force between the nucleus and the electron is modified as $F = \frac{e^2}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} \left( \frac{1}{r^2} + \frac{\beta}{r^3} \right)$,where $\beta$ is a constant. For this atom,the radius of the $n^{th}$ orbit in terms of the Bohr radius $\left( a_0 = \frac{\varepsilon_0 h^2}{m \pi e^2} \right)$ is:
