Imagine an atom made up of a proton and a hypothetical particle of double the mass of the electron but having the same charge as the electron. Apply the Bohr atom model and consider all possible transitions of this hypothetical particle to the first excited level. The longest wavelength photon that will be emitted has wavelength (given in terms of the Rydberg constant for the hydrogen atom) is equal to

The correct answer is:
In hydrogen atom
where is the mass of the electron. Here, the electron has been replaced by a particle whose mass is double of an electron. Therefore, energy in orbit for this hypothetical atom will be given by
The longest wavelength max (or minimum energy) photon will correspond to the transition of the particle from to
This gives, λ max
