Protonium consists of Proton and an antiproton in a bound state
first of all waht is a bound state - is it a proton orbiting an antiproton or vice versa??
a) what is teh Binding energy of protonium?
do i use this formula??
E = \frac{ \mu e^4}{8 \epsilon_{0}^2 h^2}
b) How far apart are the antiproton and proton in this ground state??
r = \frac{\epsilon_{0} h^2}{\mu \pi Z e^2} n^2
where \mu = \frac{m_{p}^2}{2m_{p}} = \frac{m_{p}}{2}
c) What is teh angular momentum of the proton or antiproton in the 3rd excited state?
so the 3rd excited state is n = 4
L = \mu v r = n \frac{h}{2 \pi}
and i find v using the formula given??
andi right so far if you could correct me on any of these please please tell me!
also i coul also use your help for this thread too, similar topic question!
