Which Rydberg constant should be used for hydrogen atom? ${109737.32 cm}^{- 1}$ $"109737.32 cm"^(-1)$ or ${109678.77 cm}^{- 1}$ $"109678.77 cm"^(-1)$ ?

Only the second one. See these two answers for a fuller description.

What is the difference between the Rydberg constants $R_{H} = {109678.77 cm}^{- 1}$ $R_H = "109678.77 cm"^(-1)$ and $R_{\infty} = {109737.32 cm}^{- 1}$ $R_(oo) = "109737.32 cm"^(-1)$ ?

What is the difference between the Rydberg constants $R_{H} = {109678.77 cm}^{- 1}$ $R_H = "109678.77 cm"^(-1)$ and $R_{H} = 2.18 \times 10^{- 18} J$ $R_(H) = 2.18 xx 10^(-18) "J"$ ?
