If the proton in the hydrogen atom had a charge of (+4/3)e and the electron had a charge of (−3/4)e, where e = 1.6 × 10–19C, would the Bohr formula for the H-atom remain unchanged? Provide reasons for your answer.
Options
- AYes, because the Bohr formula involves only the product of the charges.
- BNo, because the Bohr formula directly depends on the individual charges of the electron and the proton.
- CYes, because the Bohr formula is independent of the charges of the particles.
- DNo, because the Bohr formula is sensitive to the ratio of the charges of the particles.
Correct answer
A. Yes, because the Bohr formula involves only the product of the charges.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) Yes, because the Bohr formula involves only the product of the charges.
