Homework Statement
A muon is captured by a deuteron to form a muonic atom. Find the energy of the ground state and the first excited state.
find the wavelength when the transition occurs
Homework Equations
E[tex]_{n}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-13.6Z^{2}}{n^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda}[/tex] = R{[tex]\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}[/tex]-[tex]\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}[/tex]}
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure what the n's are for each state. I think [tex]n_{f}[/tex] or ground state = 1 but don't know where to go from here
