If it moves a lot--either way from the mean-- then this number squared is a big number.

如果距离均值的变动很大,那么这个平方数也会很大

So you see what it is--it's a measure of how much x deviates from the mean, but it's squared.

你会看到,这个指标,衡量的是x与平均值的偏离,而且这里有个平方

We can plug this in further when we're talking about the visible part of the light spectrum, because we know that for n final equals 2, then that would mean we plug in 2 squared here, so what we get is 1 over 4.

当我们讨论可见光谱的时候,我们可以把这个代进去,因为我们知道n末是等于2的,这意味着我们可以。

So, essentially when we're talking about these equations up here, all we're doing is talking about the regular Rydberg formulas, but instead we could go back and re-derive the equation for any one electron atom, which would just mean that we put that z squared term in the front.

所以本质上,当我们讨论，这些问题时，我们说的是常规的，Rydberg公式，但对任何其他单电子原子，我们不用,从头再推到，而是仅仅把，z平方项放在前面。
