- Is Reydberg equation still valid and use?
I saw that rydberg equation used for hydrogen atom,so does it still acceptable for world of physics or it just dinied like bohr model?

So what is the way to calculating orbital energy level?PeterDonis said:The Wikipedia article you linked to explains in which cases the formula gives correct results and in which cases it does not.

The Rydberg equation is a mathematical formula that describes the wavelengths of light emitted by a hydrogen atom. It represents the relationship between the energy levels of an electron in a hydrogen atom and the corresponding frequency or wavelength of the emitted light.
The Rydberg equation was first derived by Swedish physicist Johannes Rydberg in 1888. He used experimental data from the emission spectra of hydrogen and other elements to develop the equation.
The Rydberg constant, represented by the symbol R, is a fundamental physical constant that appears in the Rydberg equation. It is used to calculate the energy levels of electrons in a hydrogen atom and is important in understanding the behavior of atoms and molecules.
Yes, the Rydberg equation can be applied to other elements with only one electron, such as helium and lithium. However, for elements with more than one electron, the equation becomes more complex and other factors need to be taken into account.
The Rydberg equation is still used in modern physics and technology to study the behavior of atoms and molecules. It has also been used to develop new technologies such as lasers and atomic clocks, which have numerous applications in fields such as telecommunications, navigation, and precision measurements.
