Myons are little fellows similar to electrons in terms of their charge. But they are somewhat bigger with a mass 206 times larger than the electrons. Compute the energy of a hydrogen-like atom with a myon on its orbit! Compare the kinetic energy with the (Coulomb) potential energy and the gravitational energy (as the myon’s mass is much more than the electron’s mass).

- The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of objects. A 14C nucleus can change into a different kind of element, a neighbor on the periodic table with lower mass, by emitting a beta particle – an electron or positron – plus a neutrino or an anti-neutrino. Consider the scenario where 14C ( mass of 2.34 x 10 -26) decays by emitting an electron and anti neutrino. The electron has a mass of 9.11x 10-31 kg and a speed of 5.5 x107 m/s. While the anti neutrino has a momentum of 8.5x10-24 kg-m/s. If the electron and anti neutrino are emitted at right angles from each other, calculate the recoil speed of the nucleus.arrow_forward4.
