I get a different k value, and I don't understand why you didn't square the last part of your formula before you calculated your final answer did you? With or without the square I'm still not getting the right answer. I got 9.17E-13 when I didn't square it and 516 when I did. I tried to remove any rounding errors by using your figures exactly. Where did I go wrong?
In the question it was given that strong absorption takes place so, is it correct to to take n=0 to n=1. As this also gives the same answer. If not then why?

I have the exact same problem as you! Really puzzling
Your answer is correct. 516.06

You are absolutely right. The strong absorption should be n=0 to n=1.
How come you didn't square the last term when you were plugging in the values?
He forgot to square it.
Thank you!
the square sign is missing after the bracket. The result is ~515
I did the exact same thing and got 516.06
