- Assume that the states of the π electrons of a conjugated molecule can be approximated by the wavefunctions of a particle in a one-dimensional box, and that the magnitude of the dipole moment can be related to the displacement along this length by μ = −ex. Show that the transition probability for the transition n = 1 → n = 2 is non-zero, whereas that for n = 1 → n = 3 is zero.
