List and explain two factors that could affect the accuracy of your value of RH. (R subscript H)
Rydberg constant RH is determined by measuring the wavelength or frequency of a spectral line of hydrogen atom,which depends upon Fine structure and Hyperfine splitting.
Fine structure - Fine structure is modification of energy levels of hydrogen atom due to combination of relativity and spin orbit coupling. It also refer as energy Eigenstates of hydrogen atom.
Hyperfine stucture - Hyperfine structure is splitting of spectral line of hydrogen atom into two or more closely spaced components as a result of interaction of electrons with the magnetic moment of nuclei.
