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........
Transition
Absorption
Emission

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
