Rydberg Constant

Postby Isis_DW_3G » Tue Dec 08, 2020 12:58 pm

How do we know which Rydberg constant to use? Is there a specific R assigned to specific equations? Thank you!

For this class, we'll always use the Rydberg constant that's on our formula sheet (R = 3.28984 x 10^15 Hz). Hz = s^-1

There are (2 ?) different values for Rydberg constants because of different units I believe, but for this class we just use the one on the formula sheet as stated above.

Since the constant is used only really two times for our purposes, I would say use the one that is on the formula sheet. If professor lavelle did not really make a difference then I think we shouldn't really need to worry about it.
