Obtain the first Bohr's radius and the ground state energy of a muonic hydrogen atom [i.e.,an atom in which a negatively charged muon $(\mu^-)$ of mass about $207 m_{e}$ orbits around a proton].

An electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from $n^{th}$ energy state to the ground state. The wavelength so emitted illuminates a photosensitive material having work function $2.65 \text{ eV}$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is $10.1 \text{ eV}$, then the value of '$n$' is
