Question
The mass of a H-atom is less than the sum of the masses of a proton and electron. Why is this?

Solution
Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence gives E = mc2. Thus the mass of an H-atom is `m_p + m_e - B/c^2` where B ≈ 13.6 eV is the binding energy.

The inverse square law in electrostatics is |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0).r^2)` for the force between an electron and a proton. The `(1/r)` dependence of |F| can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the ‘particle’ of light (photon) is massless. If photons had a mass mp, force would be modified to |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0)r^2) [1/r^2 + λ/r]`, exp (– λr) where λ = mpc/h and h = `h/(2π)`.
