Problem 65
Q

Suppose an electron was bound to a proton, as in the hydrogen atom, but by the gravitational force rather than by the electric force. What would be the radius, and energy, of the first Bohr orbit?

A
r1=1.203×1029 m, E1=4.21×1097 Jr_1 = 1.203 \times 10^{29} \textrm{ m, } E_1 = -4.21 \times 10^{-97} \textrm{ J}
