For a certain diatomic molecule, the lowest-energy photon in the vibrational spectrum is 0.17 eV.What is the energy of a photon emitted in a transition from the 5th exited vibrational energy level to the 2nd  exited vibrational energy level, assuming no change in the rotational energy?
Consider a CO molecule that is initially in the ground state of n = 0, l = 0. If the energy of a vibrational transition from the n = 0 state to the n = 1 state in CO could instead be absorbed in a rotational transition, what would be the value of l for the final state?
Show that the moment of inertia of a diatomic molecule composed of atoms of masses mA and mB and bond length R is equal to meffR2, where meff = mAmB/(mA+mB).
