Ritz

Ritz in physics refers to the Ritz combination principle, which states that the spectral lines of atoms can be predicted by combining particular energy differences. Essentially, it helps identify the wavelengths of light emitted or absorbed when electrons move between energy levels in an atom. The principle reflects how atomic energy levels combine to produce observable spectral lines, making it easier for scientists to understand and predict atomic spectra. This concept is fundamental in spectroscopy and aids in identifying elements and studying atomic structure.
