What is the Rydberg constant used for?

It is a fundamental constant defining atomic spectral line scales and ionization energy for hydrogen-like atoms.

Why convert from Rydberg constant to MeV?

To express atomic-scale energies in units compatible with nuclear and particle physics energy scales.

Are megaelectron-volts suitable for all energy measurements?

MEV units suit high-energy physics; they may be less appropriate for low-energy atomic measurements.
