The first three absorption lines in the pure rotational spectrum of gaseous 12C16O are found to have the frequencies 1.15 × 1011, 2.30 × 1011, and 3.46 × 1011 s21. Calculate:(a) The moment of inertia I of CO (in kg m2)(b) The energies of the J 5 1, J 5 2, and J 5 3 rotational levels of CO, measured from the J 5 0 state (in joules)(c) The CUO bond length (in angstroms)
A hypothetical NH molecule makes a rotational-level transition from I= 3 to l = 1 and gives off a photon of wavelength 1.740 nm in doing so. What is the separation between the two atoms in this molecule if we model them as point masses? The mass of hydrogen is 1.67 * 1 kg, and the mass of nitrogen is 2.33 * 10-26 kg. 5.59*10^(-13) m O 5.62*10^(-13) m 5.59*10^(-11} m 5.59*10^(-12)m 6.59*10^(-13) m
A gas of identical diatomic molecules absorbs electromagnetic radiation over a wide range of frequencies. Molecule 1, initially in the υ = 0 vibrational state, makes a transition to the υ = 1 state. Molecule 2, initially in the υ = 2 state, makes a transition to the υ = 3 state. What is the ratio of the frequency of the photon that excited molecule 2 to that of the photon that excited molecule 1? (a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4 (e) impossible to determine
