Q159 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (24 Aug Shift 2) · Physics
Which of the following is the property of Rydberg constant?
- AIt is universal constant
- Correct answerBIt is same for all hydrogen like atom
- CIt depends on the atomic number of the atom
- DIt depends on the mass number of the atom
Solution
We know that, Rydberg constant,
$R=\frac{e^4 m}{8 \varepsilon_0^2 h^3 c}=1.09 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~m}^{-1}$
It remains constant for a atom, like hydrogen or hydrogen like atom.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
