(N/A) The Rydberg constant $(R)$ is a fundamental physical constant related to the atomic spectra of hydrogen.
The theoretical value of the Rydberg constant is derived from the formula:
$R = \frac{m_e e^4}{8 \epsilon_0^2 h^3 c}$
where $m_e$ is the electron mass,$e$ is the elementary charge,$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity,$h$ is Planck's constant,and $c$ is the speed of light.
Substituting the standard values:
$R \approx 1.0973731568 \times 10^7 \ m^{-1}$.
The experimental value is determined through high-precision spectroscopy of hydrogen atoms and is found to be consistent with the theoretical value:
$R \approx 1.0973731568 \times 10^7 \ m^{-1}$.

The Bohr model for the $H$-atom relies on Coulomb's law of electrostatics. Coulomb's law has not been directly verified for very short distances of the order of $\mathring{A}$. Suppose Coulomb's law between two opposite charges $+q_1$ and $-q_2$ is modified to $|\vec{F}| = \frac{q_1 q_2}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \left( \frac{1}{r^2} \right)$ for $r \ge R_0$ and $|\vec{F}| = \frac{q_1 q_2}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \left( \frac{1}{R_0^{2-\epsilon} r^{\epsilon}} \right)$ for $r < R_0$. Calculate the ground state energy of an $H$-atom,given $\epsilon = 0.1$ and $R_0 = 1 \,\mathring{A}$.
