Rydberg equation/constant

[juliaddc]

Hello!

I'm sorry if this seems like an obvious question, but I noticed that when I searched up the Rydberg constant on google (and it was also given as a hint on Achieve), it gave me 1.0974*10^7 m^-1, while the one in the constants sheet given by Dr. Lavelle is R = 3.28984 × 10^15 Hz. My first instinct was to think this was due to a unit change, but I can't quite figure it out. Is there a correct one or are these all the same but in different units?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

The first thing I notice is that the units for the first one are 1/m, whereas our constant sheet gives us Rydberg's Constant in Hertz (1/sec). I think this is the reason that the numbers are different.
