Abstract
A derivation is given of the Rydberg-Ritz formula for series spectra. Simple expressions are obtained for the Rydberg and Ritz coefficients. It is shown that the Ritz coefficient is proportional to the difference between the radial period of the electron and the period of the hypothetical orbit, with the same energy which would exist if the atomic core were to contract to zero radius.Keywords
