Problem 6.34

Calculate the Rydberg constant RR if He+\mathrm{He}^{+} ions are known to have the wavelength difference between the first (of the longest wavelength) lines of the Balmer and Lyman series equal to Δλ=\Delta \lambda= =133.7nm=133.7 \mathrm{nm}

Reveal Answer
R=176πc15Z2Δλ=2.07⋅1016 s−1R=\frac{176 \pi c}{15 Z^{2} \Delta \lambda}=2.07 \cdot 10^{16} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}
