What does one watt-second represent?

One watt-second is the energy transferred by maintaining one watt of power for one second; it is equal in dimension to one joule.

Why convert watt-seconds to the Rydberg constant?

Converting helps express macroscopic energy in fundamental atomic-scale units, useful in spectroscopy and quantum mechanics.

Are there any limitations when using this conversion?

Yes, the Rydberg constant relates to atomic-scale energy, so converting large classical energies yields very large values, and it assumes ideal atomic conditions.
