Hi. I found some rational sequences that converge to irrational limits, but am not having any luck going the other direction, i.e., an irrational sequence that converges to a rational limit. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

How about 1/n(2(1/2))?
 
Didn't want to be oddly transcendental or anything, so I was trying to stay away from those, but found out later they would have been fine. So thank you for that.
