Changing the conditions: Exam Question: Modern physics for engineers
- An electron and positron can bind into an atom-like structure called positronium. Describe positronium using the Bohr model.
- Consider the motion of the electron. Find a relation between R and v that must be satisfied if the electron's orbit is to be a circle.
- Would you change Bohr's quantum condition or keep it the same?
- What is the gap between the ground and first excited state of positronium in your model? How does it compare to the gap in hydrogen?
