  \begin{align*}

  The Rydberg constant for hydrogen can be calculated using the reduced mass of the electron.

  \begin{align*}
    R_H &= R_\infty  {m_p \over m_e + m_p} \\
    R_H &= 0.999\ldots R_\infty

  \begin{align*}
    E_3 - E_2 &= 3.027 \cdot 10^{-19} \\
    E &= {hc \over \lambda} \\
    \lambda &= {hc \over E} \\
              & = 6.5611 \cdot 10^{-7} m \\
