Physics

Post by deleted-469889 »

Hi!
I´m working on my physics project and I wanted to calculate the Rydberg Constant experimentally. The problem is that I don´t have the equipment and my teacher told me to do it with a database. However, despite having found one, the rydberg constant only work for hydrogenic species and i have only found thw wavelength for H and wanted to find more about He+ Li++ or Be+++ which also work, but i don´t have their wavelengths to do so. Any database you know or any other kind of info would we great. Thank you all in advanced.

Hi domingo19,

I'd start by asking your teacher what 'database' they are referring to, as they may have something in mind. The move from experiment to 'looking up data' seems like a pretty dramatic shift of focus.
