  Would the Bohr formula for the H-atom remain unchanged if proton had a charge (+4/3) e and electron a charge (- 3/4) e, where e = 1.6 x 10-19 C. Give reasons for your answer.

Answer:

                  In Bohr's formula, we say centripetal force is provided by Coulomb's force of attraction between the nucleus (a proton) and revolving electron. The coulomb's force If charge on proton and charge on electron,their product remains the same. And  in both the cases  Therefore, Bohr formula for H-atom shall remain unchanged.
