What are Rydberg and Nanojoule

Definition of Rydberg

The Rydberg constant represents the highest wavenumber (inverse wavelength) any photon can achieve when emitted from the hydrogen atom. Named after physicist Johannes Rydberg, it is a fundamental physical constant associated with atomic spectroscopy. Its value is approximately 10,973,731.56816 m⁻¹, indicating the limit of the series of spectral lines known as the Rydberg series.

Definition of Nanojoule

A nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), representing one billionth of a joule. The joule is the unit of work, energy, and heat, and is based on the energy transferred when applying a force of one newton through a distance of one meter. Thus, one nanojoule is a minuscule, yet measurable amount of energy often used in microscopic and quantum scale measurements.
