What are Rydberg and Kiloelectron-volt

The Rydberg constant represents the highest wavenumber (the inverse of wavelength) that can be emitted from an atom. It's named after the Swedish physicist Johannes Rydberg and is a fundamental quantity in quantum mechanics associated with spectral lines of atomic transitions. Its value is approximately 10973731.6 per meter and it plays a pivotal role in the Rydberg formula, which predicts the wavelengths of a photon emitted during electron transitions between energy levels in a hydrogen atom.

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts. It's commonly used in the fields of particle physics and electromagnetism. One electron-volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when it passes through an electric potential difference of one volt. A keV, therefore, is a practical unit for measuring the energy levels of electrons in an atom and for describing the scale of energy in atomic and subatomic processes.
