- Physics Let's look at the characteristic wavelength of radiation that is produced in molecular transitions. The separation between adjacent energy levels is typically a few eV for atomic energy levels, on the order of 0.1 eV for vibrational levels, and on the order of 10−3eV for rotational levels. Find the wavelength of the photon emitted during a transition in which the energy of the molecule decreases by 5.00 eV, 0.500 eV, and 5.00×10−3eV.

There are actually three such excited states, all with the same energy.

To account for this data, astronomers suggested that the molecules might be in thermal equilibrium with some "reservoir" with a well-defined temperature. What is that temperature?*arrow_forward
