The absorption associated with a certain transition begins at 167 nm, peaks sharply at 200 nm, and ends at 250 nm. The maximum value of the molar absorption coefficient is 3.35 × 104 dm3 mol−1 cm−1. Estimate the integrated absorption coefficient of the transition assuming an inverted parabolic lineshape (Fig. 11.1).
Assuming there are three special isotopes mixture of cadmium, Cd110, Cd112 and Cd114. If He-Cd laser is operating at temperature 25°C at wavelength of 450 nm. Find the Doppler broadening for these three isotopes.
The conjugated diene 1,4-diphenyl-1,3- butadiene has a network length of 723 nm. Using the particle in a box, find what wavelength of light it should absorb at if the HOMO is at n=3.

A student has acquired an IR spectra of an unknown six-carbon molecule and has determined that it is either 2-hexyne, 1- hexyne, or 1-hexene. How can the student use their knowledge of IR spectroscopy to determine the identity of the molecule? In your answer, clearly specify what regions of the IR spectrum the student should look at and what bonds are responsible for the absorption bands you indicate.
The absorbance of a mixture at a specified wavelength is the total of the absorbances of each component at that wavelength. O True O False
What is (a) the wavenumber. (b) the wavelength of the radiation used by an FM rad io transmitter broadcasting at 88.0 MHz?
You have a white light source followed by a blue filter (which allows only blue light to pass). An unknown sample contains molecules B that absorb blue light. You measure transmittance and obtain T = 10% (0.1). Assume that you dilute this sample 10 fold. What is the absorbance, A, that you expect to measure in the diluted solution? O a. log,,(1.6) ОБ. 10 O. 0.01 O d. 0.1 Oe. 1
Why are n-π* transitions generally of low intensities/low absorptions?
13C NMR spectroscopy provides valuable information about the environments of a molecule's carbon atoms. Because carbon atoms are often connected to hydrogen atoms, which could split the carbon signal through spin-spin coupling, the coupling between C and H is often "turned off" through the use of broadband decoupling, causing each C signal to appear as a singlet.
