Question

3. The potential energy of the strong interaction between two quarks has the approximate form V(r) = br (note, this is positive, not negative) and the force between the quarks is Feb, where b is some constant. Assume we have a light quark of mass m orbiting a very massive quark. Using the same basic approach we used for the Bohr model, find the possible energies of this system. Your answer should be in terms of ħ, b, m, and n (but not r). (Hint: It will be kind of ugly. This is okay. If you can't get the whole way through, just do what you can, showing everything. I just want to see that you have understood major parts of this derivation.)
