Rydberg Equation

Rydberg Equation

### Formula:

$$\bar{\nu}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)$$

### Terminologies:

- ν̄ → Wave number of emitted or absorbed radiation.

- $$R_H$$ → Rydberg constant for hydrogen.

- $$n_1$$ → Principal quantum number of lower energy level.

- $$n_2$$ → Principal quantum number of higher energy level.

- Principal Quantum Number → Quantum number representing main energy level of electron.

### Usage:

- Used to calculate wavelength or wave number of spectral lines in hydrogen-like atoms.
