Chapter 14, Problem 60E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The wave number of a line in the infrared spectrum of NO should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The relation between force constant, atomic mass and wave number is given by the formula as follows:

  $\overline{v}=\frac{1}{2\pi c}\sqrt{\frac{k}{\mu }}$

Where,

• $\overline{v}$ is the wave number.
• $c$ is the speed of light.
• $k$ is force constant.
• $\mu$ is the reduced mass.
