    Calculate Wavelength from Rydberg's Constant

    Well this is going to be a long journey through my inorganic chem 430 class lol. How come I couldn't find this stuff on youtube or google or anything?

    Calculate Wavelength from Rydberg's Constant

    Hmm... I am not too sure how to get the number 656.3 though. I am fine with converting. Just can't find the 656.3

    Calculate Wavelength from Rydberg's Constant

    Whoops yeah, I meant 5/36. then I get 1/λ=1523611.111m-1 lol, sorry if I am bugging you but what do I do now to convert it to nm? Particularly 656.3 nm... lol

    Calculate Wavelength from Rydberg's Constant

    Okay, Now i get 1/λ=1.097x107m-1(1/6) am I on the right track?

    Calculate Wavelength from Rydberg's Constant

    Wavelength HELP! Homework Statement Calculate the wavenumber (v=1/lambda) and the wavelength of the first transition in the visible region of the atomic spectrum of hydrogen. I KNOW THE ANSWER... 656.3 nm. I just don't have a clue how they got that answer, I do know that I had to use...
