Convert megawatt-hour to Rydberg constant
Please provide values below to convert megawatt-hour [MW*h] to Rydberg constant [Ry], or Convert Rydberg constant to megawatt-hour.
How to Convert Megawatt-Hour to Rydberg Constant
1 MW*h = 1.65147152305723e+27 Ry
Example: convert 15 MW*h to Ry:
15 MW*h = 15 × 1.65147152305723e+27 Ry = 2.47720728458584e+28 Ry

Megawatt-Hour
A megawatt-hour (MW·h) is a unit of energy equal to one megawatt of power sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The megawatt-hour has been used since the development of large-scale electrical power systems to quantify energy production and consumption, especially in power generation and grid management, becoming standard in the 20th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today to measure electricity generation, consumption, and capacity in power plants, utilities, and energy markets worldwide.
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.
