Rydberg Equation
Are we not allowed to use the Rydberg Equation at all? Do we need to know it for the upcoming test/quiz?

Re: Rydberg Equation
We are not using the Rydberg equation because it is easy to mix up the initial and final states of the electrons as well as the sign convention. Use delta E = E(final) - E(initial) instead.

Re: Rydberg Equation
Will we get points off if we use it on the test? Or does it not matter as long as we get the right answer?
