Chapter 16, Problem 16.5QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the O-H stretch, the wavelength and wave number of the first overtone band should be determined.

Concept introduction:

An absorption band gives an energy range for the different wavelengths in an electromagnetic spectrum.

The wave number may be defined as the wavelength per unit distance. The wave number are expressed in ${\text{cm}}^{-1}$.
