GmM Suppose that the hydrogen atom is held together not by the Coulomb force, but by the gravitational force with a potential energy, V(r) = Namely, consider a light particle with mass, me, in orbit about a heavy particle, mp >> me, where both particles are neutral, and the only force acting between them is gravitational force. Using the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, estimate the energy of the orbiting particle in terms of ħ, G, C, me, and mp:
