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.
Fuel Oil Equivalent @barrel (Us)
Fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US) (foe) is a unit of energy representing the amount of energy contained in one US barrel of fuel oil, used to compare energy content across different fuels.
History/Origin
The foe unit originated in energy and fuel industries to standardize energy measurements, particularly in the context of oil and fuel consumption, and has been used since the mid-20th century for energy accounting and reporting.
Current Use
Today, foe is primarily used in energy statistics, research, and reporting to quantify and compare the energy content of fuel oils and other energy sources in a consistent manner.
