Question

A state of matter named for this scientist that is derived from a strontium Bose–Einstein condensate can contain 170 strontium atoms within one atom. (20[1])This scientist’s “polaron” involves a namesake (20[1])type of atom that has an electron with an extremely large principal quantum number. Subscripts of infinity and “H” distinguish versions of this scientist’s namesake constant for heavy atoms and hydrogen, respectively. Evaluating a formula named for this scientist at “n-sub-one equals one” (20[1])while varying (20[1])n-sub-two yields the (*) Lyman series. (10[3])This (10[1])scientist’s namesake (10[2])formula (10[1])gives the vacuum wavenumber of photons emitted by electronic transitions. For 10 points, name this Swedish physicist who (10[1])names a constant denoted (10[3])R. (10[3])■END■ (10[6])
