What Does R Equal in Rydberg Equation

The value of the Rydberg constant R∞ is 10,973,731.56816 per metre. When used in this form in the mathematical description of series of spectral lines, the result is the number of waves per unit length, or the wavenumbers. Multiplication by the speed of light yields the frequencies of the spectral lines.

What is r in Rydberg equation?

In the science of spectroscopy, under physics, the Rydberg constant is a physical constant relating to atomic spectra. It is denoted by R∞ for heavy atoms and RH for Hydrogen. Rydberg constant was first arising from the Rydberg formula as a fitting parameter.

How do you calculate Rydberg equation?

\lambdaThe wavelength of the photon.n_1 and n_2Integers where n_2 > n_1.
