The radius of the first permitted Bohr orbit for the electron in a hydrogen atom equals \(0.5~\mathring{A}\) and its ground state energy equals \(-13.6\) eV. If the electron in the hydrogen atom is replaced by a muon \((\mu\text-)\) [ charged the same as the electron and mass \(207m_e\)], the first Bohr radius and ground state energy will be: 
(\(m_e\) represents mass of electron)
1.  \(0.53 \times 10^{-13} ~\text{m},-3.6 ~\text{eV}\)
2. \(25.6 \times 10^{-13} ~\text{m},-2.8 ~\text{eV}\)
3. \(2.56 \times 10^{-13} ~\text{m},-2.8 ~\text{keV}\)
4. \(2.56 \times 10^{-13} ~\text{m},-13.6 ~\text{eV}\)
