MDCAT Physics MCQ #270

  1. Question 1

    Q1. The Rydberg constant R is related to the energy of the electron in the nth orbit by

    • A) En = -hcR/n^2
    • B) En = hcR/n
    • C) En = -hcR/n
    • D) En = hcR/n^2

    Answer: En = -hcR/n^2

    Explanation: Rydberg constant is related to energy by En = -hcR/n^2; option C is incorrect because it's missing the square on n.
