Atomic Spectrum of Hydrogen
This exercise uses the Rydberg equation as the basis for posing questions related to the electronic energy levels of the hydrogen atom. You will need to use your textbook to obtain the Rydberg equation as well as several other needed expressions and constants. A very specific dimension set is used. Energies are always in Joules, wavelength in meters and frequency in s-1.

Type the correct value into the answer cell and press "Check Answer."
The results on the problem and a running total will appear in the table.
If you get a problem "incorrect", you should redo it and recheck your
answer.
Answers in scientific notation should be input using "e" notation. Thus, 2.05*10-20 would be input as 2.05e-20
