Sep 28, 2018 at 20:30 comment added HiddenBabel Look at the units. The way $R_H$ is defined there is in units of inverse meters. See how it has $h^3c$ in the denominator? To convert to energy, you multiply by $hc$ which has units of energy times meters. Your $R^*$ is in units of energy already, because the denominator only has $h^2$ in it, which is $hc/h^3c$
Sep 28, 2018 at 20:25 comment added Pregunto Thanks! I read the link, but I am still not sure about the correct interpretation. Rh/hc is referred to as R(infinity), but they seem to be used in different contexts. Also, I could not find hc in the definition of R*, so what do you mean when you say that it takes it in front?
