Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 8P
The v = 0 to v = 1 vibrational transition of the HI molecule occurs at a frequency of 6.69 × 1013 Hz. The same transition for the NO molecule occurs at a frequency of 5.63 × 1013 Hz. Calculate (a) the effective force constant and (b) the amplitude of vibration for each molecule. (c) Explain why the force constant of the NO molecule is so much larger than that of the HI molecule.
