Correct answer: B
- Use Bohr model relations for a hydrogen-like atom
For a particle of mass and charge magnitude bound to a proton:
- Radius of th orbit:
- Speed in th orbit: so for the same nuclear charge , it is independent of mass in the Bohr model.
- Ionization energy:
- Momentum:
Given for muon:
So we compare muonic hydrogen with ordinary hydrogen.
- Check statement (A)
Since we get Thus the muonic orbit radius is 200 times smaller.
✅ (A) is correct
- Check statement (B)
For Bohr orbits, This does not depend on the mass of the orbiting particle.
So for the same , not times.
❌ (B) is incorrect
- Check statement (C)
Energy levels in Bohr model: Hence ionization energy also scales directly with mass.
Therefore, So the ionization energy is 200 times larger.
✅ (C) is correct
- Check statement (D)
Momentum is Since is unchanged while mass becomes 200 times,
✅ (D) is correct
- Final selection
Correct statements are: This corresponds to Option B.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: B
Our derived answer: B
So they agree.
