Question
The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is B = `- (Me^4)/(8n^2ε_0^2h^2)`. (m = electron mass). If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving around it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be
B = `- (Me^4)/(8n^2ε_0^2h^2)` (M = proton mass)
This last expression is not correct because ______.
Options
n would not be integral.
Bohr-quantisation applies only to electron
the frame in which the electron is at rest is not inertial.
the motion of the proton would not be in circular orbits, even approximately.

Solution
The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is B = `- (Me^4)/(8n^2ε_0^2h^2)`. (m = electron mass). If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving around it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be
B = `- (Me^4)/(8n^2ε_0^2h^2)` (M = proton mass)
This last expression is not correct because the frame in which the electron is at rest is not inertial.
Explanation:
In a hydrogen atom, electrons revolving around a fixed proton nucleus have some centripetal acceleration. Therefore its frame of reference is non-inertial. If the frame of reference, where the electron is at rest, the given expression is not true as it forms the non-inertial frame of reference.
