Question

I'm supposed to calculate the value of the Rydberg constant, but I keep getting 0, because of the top of the equation. Could someone please explain if I'm doing something wrong?

The Rydberg constant (RE) can be found from fundamental constants using this equation: RE=mee^4/8 epsilon0^2 h^2 h is Planck's constant (6.62606896 times 10^-34 J.s), me is the rest mass of the electron (9.10938215 times l0^-31 kg), e is the elementary charge (-1.602176487 times l0^-19 Coul), and epsilon0 is the permittivity of free space (8.854187817 times 10^-12 in SI units such as F/m)

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER:

The correct formulla for rydberg constant is given below

R = me e4 / 8€o2 h3C

C= velocity of light.
