I have seen 3.29 x 10^15 Hz as well as 1.097 x 10^7 m^-1. Which one will we be using for homework and exams?

use m^-1

Both of these Rydberg constants are equal and vary just because of their units.

for E=-hR/n^2.... 3.28984 * 10^15 Hz should be used and that is what is given on the formula sheet
