Rydberg constant

The Rydberg constant, symbol R, named after the Swedish physicist Johannes Rydberg, is a physical constant relating to atomic spectra, in the science of spectroscopy. The constant first arose as an empirical fitting parameter in the Rydberg formula for the hydrogen spectral series, but Niels Bohr later showed that its value could be calculated from more fundamental constants, explaining the relationship via his 'Bohr model'. The quantity \(R_y = R_\infty \cdot hc_0\) is called "Rydberg Energy".

\(R_\infty = \frac{e^2}{8\pi \varepsilon_0 a_0 h c_0 }\), where \(e\) is the elementary charge, \(\varepsilon_0\) is the electric constant, \(a_0\)is the Bohr radius, \(\h\) is the Planck constant, and \(c_0\) is the speed of light in vacuum.
