What are Rydberg and Megaelectron-volt

Definition of Rydberg

The Rydberg constant represents the highest wavenumber (inverse wavelength) that can be emitted from an atom. It's a fundamental physical constant associated with the electromagnetic spectra of atoms, particularly hydrogen. Defined as approximately 10,973,731.56816 m^-1, it plays a crucial role in quantum mechanics and atomic physics calculations.

Definition of Megaelectron-volt

A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in particle physics. Equivalent to one million electron-volts, it measures the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by an electron as it moves through an electric potential difference of one volt. It's a small energy scale but significant in subatomic particle interactions.
