Chapter 14, Problem 14.61E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between overtone vibration, fundamental vibrations and hot bands is to be stated. The selection rules corresponding to the vibrational quantum number for overtone vibration, fundamental vibrations and hot bands are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The quantum number that represents the vibrational motion of the nucleus present in an atom or molecules is known as vibrational quantum number. The motion shown by the vibrational quantum number assumes that the given molecule acts as quantum-mechanical harmonic oscillator. It is denoted by v.
