Problem

What is the ground-state energy and Bohr radius for each of the following two-particle systems? (a) 2^2H, a bound state of a deuteron and an electron (b) Positronium (c) A bound state of a proton and a negative muon (d) A gravitational bound state of two neutrons What is the wavelength of the radiation emitted in the transition from the n=2n = 2 state to the n=1n = 1 state in each case? In what portion of the electromagnetic spectrum does this radiation reside?
