  1. Question 1

    Q1. The wavelength of the first line of the Paschen series is given by 1 / λ = R * (1 / 3² - 1 / n²). For n = 4, what is λ?

    • A) 1875 nm
    • B) 1282 nm
    • C) 1094 nm
    • D) 820 nm

    Answer: 1875 nm

    Explanation: For n = 4, 1 / λ = R * (1 / 9 - 1 / 16). λ = 1875 nm.
