Rydberg Constant
The Rydberg constant (Ry) is a physical constant that represents the highest wavenumber (inverse wavelength) of any photon in the hydrogen atom's emission spectrum, used to calculate spectral lines.
History/Origin
Named after the Swedish physicist Johannes Rydberg, the Rydberg constant was introduced in the late 19th century as part of Rydberg's formula to describe the spectral lines of hydrogen, significantly advancing atomic physics.
Current Use
The Rydberg constant is used in quantum physics and spectroscopy to determine energy levels of hydrogen and other hydrogen-like atoms, and in calculations involving atomic spectra and quantum mechanics.
Ton-Hour (Refrigeration)
A ton-hour (ton*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of cooling provided by one ton of refrigeration over one hour.
History/Origin
The ton-hour originated from the refrigeration industry, where the 'ton' is a unit of cooling capacity, and the hour indicates the duration. It has been used historically to quantify cooling energy consumption and capacity.
Current Use
Today, the ton-hour is used in HVAC and refrigeration systems to measure cooling energy consumption, system capacity, and performance over specific periods.
