Rydberg constant
Is the Rydberg constant (R= 3.29E15 Hz) something that we have to memorize like Avogadro's number for the tests?

Re: Rydberg constant
Hello,
If you purchased the periodic table sheet with the formulas in the back, the Rydberg constant is listed on it. I'm not sure if Lavelle would allow us to use it considering the tests are closed book and notes! It doesn't hurt to memorize it :)

Re: Rydberg constant
Hey guys,
My TA told us that we would have all the formulas and constants we need provided for us on the front page of each test (including Avagadro's number!). However, I find it helpful to memorize certain equations so I can be more familiar with how to use them and so I don't have to keep flipping back to the front page every time I need a formula.

Re: Rydberg constant
There's also a Constants and Equations link on the class website that has the Rydberg constant, Avogadro's number, and a bunch of other constants and useful numbers like the mass of an electron. I'm pretty sure that's the sheet that will be provided to us on tests and exams.
