Meaning
A wave number characteristic of the wave spectrum of each element.
Classification
Nouns denoting quantities and units of measure.
Examples
- The Rydberg constant is a physical constant that relates to the Rydberg, a wave number characteristic of the wave spectrum of each element.
- In atomic physics, the Rydberg is a measure of the wave number of a spectral line of an element.
- The Rydberg for hydrogen has been measured to high precision, providing valuable insights into the atomic structure of the element.
- Each element has its own Rydberg, which can be used to identify the element and understand its spectral properties.
- The Rydberg of an element is typically expressed in units of reciprocal centimeters and is used to calculate the energy levels of the atom.
