1. [10] Consider an adsorption band in the combined rotational-vibrational spectrum of a linear molecule, where the fundamental vibrational frequency involved in the observed band is 2325 cm-¹ and the rotational constant of the molecule is B=2.4 cm³. Say hypothetically, the specific selection rules for the rotational states are AJ = ±2. At what wave numbers would the first three peaks that occur at both higher and lower wave numbers than fundamental vibrational frequency occur at? What transitions would each peak correspond to?
