Reduced Bohr Radius
The Bohr radius including the effect of reduced mass in the hydrogen atom can be given by the following equation:
where
- is the Compton wavelength of the proton.
- is the Compton wavelength of the electron.
- is the fine structure constant.
In the above equation, the effect of the reduced mass is achieved by using the increased Compton wavelength, which is just the Compton wavelengths of the electron and the proton added together.

Famous quotes containing the words reduced and/or bohr:
“The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made in a very narrow field.”
—Niels Bohr (1885–1962)
