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 × 1 0 − 19 C . Give reasons for your answer.

As there is no interchange in the position of proton and electron only the magnitude of charge change as coulombian force will be same. If proton had a charge ( + 4/3 ) e and electron a charge ( − 3/ 4)e, then the Bohr formula for H -atom remain same, since the Bohr formula involves only the product of the charges which remain constant for given values of charges.
