- Consider the NaCl molecule, for which the rotational inertia is 1.30x 10-45 kg*m2. If infrared radiation with wavelength 30 μ m is Raman-scattered from a free NaCl molecule, what are the allowed wavelengths of the scattered radiation?arrow_forwardWhat is the name of the rule that the emission usually takes place from thelowest vibrational level of the first excited singlet state, because of the rapidvibrational relaxation and internal conversion?arrow_forwardConsider the HCl molecule, which consists of a hydrogen atom of mass 1 u bound to a chlorine atom of mass 35 u. The equilibrium separation between the atoms is 0.128 nm, and it requires 0.15 eV of work to increase or decrease this separation by 0.01 nm. (a) Calculate the four lowest rotational energies (in eV) that are possible, assuming the molecule rotates rigidly. (b) Find the molecules spring constant and its classical frequency of vibration.
