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.
