Rydberg equation, calculate RH?
« on: October 26, 2008, 05:09:10 PM »
λ for one line of the hydrogen spectrum is .4118 x 10-4 cm. Use this value in the Rydberg equation to calculate the RH value using n1 = 2, and n2 = 6

I dont understand how to do this

Use the rydberg equation found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_formula

Then manipulate it to solve for Rh, then you have all of the values for the variables to solve it for a value of Rh
