Rydberg formula calculates the wavenumber of spectral lines obtained in the spectra of single electron hydrogen-like atoms. Rydberg's envision to measure the wavenumber of spectral energies instead of wavelengths had brought a distinguishing variation in the spectral evaluations.

Some important points of Rydberg formula 01 The Rydberg formula helps to determine the wavenumber or wavelengths of hydrogen spectral lines obtained in the hydrogen spectrum. 02 In 1888, Johannes Rydberg discovered an empirical formula to estimate the wavelengths of known and unknown spectral lines of the hydrogen atomic spectrum. 03 The Rydberg formula served as a generalization to the Balmer formula. It restored the Balmer formula to extend it to all spectral line series of the hydrogen spectrum. 04 Rydberg formula also calculates the wavenumber of spectral lines obtained in the spectra of single electron hydrogen-like atoms. 05 But, it did not get much practical significance until 1913. When Neil Bohr explained the groundbreaking facts about the electronic arrangement of the hydrogen atom, the Rydberg formula came into the limelight. Blog:https://jayamchemistrylearners.blogspot.com/
