You will perform rotational spectroscopy on the diatomic molecule 25A2ºB (where A and B are generic elements with an interatomic spacing that is expected to be 1.28 Å). Prior to the experiment, you want to predict what the spectrum will look like so you know what to expect and one spectral line you are particularly interested in is the transition between t =2 and the next higher state. What is the wavenumber (in cm-1) of the photon for this transition? Write your answer to two decimal places (X.XX).
