How to Convert Rydberg Constant to Inch-Ounce
1 Ry = 3.08696263568197e-16 in*ozf
Example: convert 15 Ry to in*ozf:
15 Ry = 15 × 3.08696263568197e-16 in*ozf = 4.63044395352295e-15 in*ozf

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.
Inch-Ounce
The inch-ounce (in*ozf) is a unit of energy or work, representing the work done when a force of one ounce-force is applied over a distance of one inch.
History/Origin
The inch-ounce originated in the imperial and customary measurement systems, primarily used in the United States for small-scale energy calculations and engineering applications, before being largely replaced by the foot-pound in most contexts.
Current Use
Today, the inch-ounce is rarely used and has been largely superseded by more standard units like the foot-pound. It may still appear in niche engineering, calibration, or historical references within the energy converter category.
