Q. The Rydberg constant $R$ for hydrogen is
A) $R = - \left( \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{o}} \right)\frac{2\pi^{2}me^{2}}{ch^{2}}$
B) $R = \left( \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{o}} \right)\frac{2\pi^{2}me^{2}}{ch^{2}}$
C) $R = \left( \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{o}} \right)^{2}\frac{2\pi^{2}me^{2}}{c^{2}h^{2}}$
D) $R = \left( \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{o}} \right)^{2}\frac{2\pi^{2}me^{4}}{ch^{3}}$
Explanation
(d) $R = \frac{2\pi^{2}mk^{2}e^{4}}{ch^{3}} = \left( \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{o}} \right)^{2}\frac{2\pi^{2}me^{4}}{ch^{3}}$
