b) The photon energy in the transition from the level v = 0 to v = 1 is:
Eph = ∆E = E1 – E0 = 3/2hv0 – ½ hv0 = hv0;
Since the energy of a photon is given by Ephoton = hv, the frequency of the transition from the first to the next second vibrational level is:
Eph = hv;
λ = c/v0 = 3*108/8.963*1013 = 3.345 * 10-6 m = 3345 nm.
c) Hydrogen atom (H2) vibrational spectra;
HF show rotational or vibrational spectra, since others are linear molecules.
CO will show rotational spectra while H2 will no.
