Question

The Rydberg formula, for the spectrum of the hydrogen atom where all terms have their usual meaning is

• A. $h\upsilon_{if} = \frac{me^{4}}{8\varepsilon_{0}^{2}h^{2}}\left( \frac{1}{n_{f}} - \frac{1}{n_{i}} \right)$
• B. $h\upsilon_{if} = \frac{me^{4}}{8\varepsilon_{0}^{2}h^{2}}\left( \frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}} \right)$
• C. $h\upsilon_{if} = \frac{8\varepsilon_{0}^{2}h^{2}}{me^{4}}\left( \frac{1}{n_{f}} - \frac{1}{n_{i}} \right)$
• D. $h\upsilon_{if} = \frac{8\varepsilon_{0}^{2}h^{2}}{me^{4}}\left( \frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}} \right)$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$h\upsilon_{if} = \frac{me^{4}}{8\varepsilon_{0}^{2}h^{2}}\left( \frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}} \right)$

Answer 2

$h\upsilon_{if} = \frac{me^{4}}{8\varepsilon_{0}^{2}h^{2}}\left( \frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}} \right)$
