A band at \( 4000 \ \mathrm{cm^{-1}} \) lies at a wavelength of

  • A.2500 nm
  • B.4000 nm
  • C.250 nm
  • D.400 nm

Answer: A

Inverting the same relation:

\[ \lambda = \frac{10^{7}}{4000} = 2500 \ \mathrm{nm} \]

giving 2500 nanometres, in the near infrared. Because the two scales are reciprocal, a band that looks narrow on one looks wide on the other, which is worth bearing in mind when comparing spectra plotted in different units.
