  1. Question 1

    Q1. The wavelength of the first line of Paschen series is given by 1 / λ = R * (1 / 3² - 1 / 4²). What is λ?

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

    Answer: 1282 nm

    Explanation: Use the Rydberg formula to find λ = 1 / (R * (1/9 - 1/16)) = 1282 nm.
