: A space probe was designed to seek carbon monoxide in Saturn’s atmosphere by looking for
lines in its rotational spectrum. If the bond length of CO is 112.8 pm, at what wavenumbers (in cm-1) do the first three rotational transitions appear? Carbon is almost all carbon-12, so for this
part, you can assume it’s all 12C). What resolution would be required to determine the isotropic
ratio of 13C to 12C on Saturn by observing the first three 13CO rotational lines as well? (In other
words how far apart, in cm-1, are the rotational transitions of 12CO and 13CO
The following parameters describe the electronic ground state and an excited electronic state of SnO: ᷉ B = 0.3540 cm−1, ᷉ B' = 0.3101 cm−1. Which branch of the transition between them shows a head? At what value of J will it occur?
Ground state sodium has a term symbol of 2S1/2. What are the possible term symbols for the product of an allowed transition for ground state sodium?
