- Farrell suggests the electrons gain mass as they fall to lower orbits, so
- I'm wondering how this might affect the "p" quantity.
-
- For instance, how does a muon's mass effect its orbital radius and the
- minimum energy of a muon/proton "atom?" Is the n=1 radius still .53A ?
- Or is the orbit bigger or smaller than .53A ?
-
- How about minimum energy? Does a muon in n=1 state give the muon/proton
- system less energy than an equivalent electron/proton system? More energy?
- The same?
