Help with Media query challenge

Next, create a new media query that targets all devices when the viewport width is 768px or narrower. Inside the media query, target the .title element and set the font-size to 1.4rem. Finally, target the h1 element and set its font-size to 5rem.

I'm getting an error asking if I specified the correct font size for the h1. What am I doing wrong?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header { 
  background: tomato;
  color: white; 
  }
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {
  font-size: 1.4em;}
  .h1 {
  font-size: 3rem;
  }
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>

Important note! Even though it says "3rem" I get the same error with "5rem." Just forgot to change the code before asking my question.

Your code is almost correct. You targeted a class named h1 instead of the tag h1. Remove the . and it should work!

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}
@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  h1 {
    font-size: 5rem;
  }
}
