Calculate the energy levels of the 7-network in octatetraene, C3H10 (CC-C=C-C=C-C=C), using the particle in the box model. To calculate the box length, assume that the molecule is linear and use the values 135 and 154 pm for C=C and C-C bonds. What is the wavelength of light required to induce a transition from the ground state to the first excited state?
