Review

The value of the constant $R_{\mathrm{H}}$ in Equation 26-14, called the Rydberg constant, is chosen to match the experimental data. To four significant figures, $R_{\mathrm{H}} = 1.097 \times 10^7\ \mathrm{m}^{-1}$ As an example, the hydrogen absorption and emission lines shown in Figure 26-12 all correspond to $n =2$ in Equation 26-14. The series of wavelengths for which $n =2$ are called the Balmer series.
