This document provides a list of potentially useful constants, conversion factors, and formulae for reference. It includes definitions for the hertz, meter, joule, Planck's constant, Avogadro's number, speed of light, atomic mass unit, electron and proton masses, electronvolt, Bohr radius, and Rydberg constant. Equations presented include relationships for wavelength and frequency, de Broglie wavelength, kinetic energy, energy-frequency, particle in a box wavefunctions, kinetic and binding energies as differences in frequencies, and the Rydberg formula for hydrogen atomic energy levels.
