Question

The principal series of $Ca^+$ consists of electron configurations of the form $3p^6 nl$ (where further inner closed shells have been ignored). In terms of $R_\infty$ and the quantum defect $\mu$ give an expression for the energy levels of this system. What property of the quantum defect makes it a useful quantity in predicting the positions of energy levels?
