Rydberg series formula Rydberg series formula[′rid‚bərg ¦sir·ēz ‚fȯr·myə·lə] (spectroscopy) An empirical formula for the wave numbers of various lines of certain spectral series such as neutral hydrogen and alkali metals; it states that the wave number of the n th member of the series is λ∞-R /(n + a)2, where λ∞is the series limit, R is the Rydberg constant of the atom, and a is an empirical constant. |
