Question

What is the wavelength of the series limit?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

The series limit corresponds to a transition from $n = \infty$. Taking the limit as $n \to \infty$ in the formula $\lambda = \frac{C n^2}{n^2 - 16}$ yields $\lambda = C$. Substituting the calculated value of $C$, the series limit wavelength is 366.97 nm. Therefore, correct answer is B.
