Complete the equation.
Ephoton = (Hint: energy levels) |
Ephoton = E2 - E1 = hv
Ephoton is the energy emitted by a photon in a transition between two energy levels labelled 1 and 2. h is planks constant. |
|
Complete the equation.
C = (Hint: wave equation) |
C = vλ
C is the speed of light and v is the frequency of a light photon. λ is the wavelength of the light. |
|
A fact vital to spectroscopy is Q........, what does this word mean?
|
Quantisation means that only certain discrete energy levels can exist and a molecule must be in one of these levels.
|
|
In spectroscopy T......... between these levels is induced by A....... or E........

What does the Born - Oppenheimer approximation regard?
(Hint: Separation) |
The Born - Oppenheimer approximation states that it is possible to separate the energy of a molecule into electronic, vibrational and rotational.
|
|
The equation relating to diatomic molecules and the number of allowed rotational energies is...
|
Ej = BJ (J + 1)
J = rotational quantum number B = rotational constant |
|
The equation to determine the constant B is...
|
B= h^2/(〖8π〗^2 I)
|
|
If I is the moment of inertia of a molecule then how do you determine this number?
|
I = μr^2
r is the bond length |
|
μ is the symbol for reduced mass...how do you determine μ?
|
μ = (Ma x Mb)/(Ma + Mb)
|
|
If atoms A and B are heavier, does μ increase or decrease?
|
Increases
|
|
If atoms A and B are heavier, does the rotational constant increase or decrease?
|
Decreases
|
|
If the bond length is smaller then is the rotational constant larger or smaller?
|
Larger
