Problem

The negative muon has a charge equal to that of an electron but a mass that is 207207 times as great. Consider a hydrogen-like atom consisting of a proton and a muon. (1) What is the reduced mass of the atom? (2) What is the ground-level energy, in eV? (3) What is the wavelength of the radiation emitted in the transition from the n=2n=2 level to the n=1n=1 level?
