Convert Rydberg constant to newton meter
Please provide values below to convert Rydberg constant [Ry] to newton meter [N*m], or Convert newton meter to Rydberg constant.
1 Ry = 2.1799e-18 N*m. To convert Rydberg constant to newton meter, multiply the value by 2.1799e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 N*m = 4.5874e+17 Ry). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Ry = 2.1799e-18 N*m
- 1 N*m = 4.5874e+17 Ry
- 10 Ry = 2.1799e-17 N*m
- 100 Ry = 2.1799e-16 N*m

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.
Newton Meter
A newton meter (N·m) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the amount of force applied over a distance.
History/Origin
The newton meter was established as a standard unit of torque and energy in the International System of Units (SI) to provide a consistent measurement for mechanical work and rotational force.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify torque in mechanical systems and to measure energy in contexts such as physics calculations and energy conversions.
