Question
Chapter 8.2, Problem 1E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The relation betweenν and ṽ needs to be derived and reason for the terms frequency and wavenumber to used interchangeably needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The wavenumber is the number of full cycles in a unit of distance or number of waves in one centimeter. It is inversely proportional to wavelength. In other words, wavenumber is directly proportional to the frequency where the frequency is the number of cycles per unit time.

The far-infrared spectrum of HI consists of a series of equally spaced lines with Δν(bar) = 12.8 ^-1 cm. What are (a) the moment of inertia and (b) the internuclear distance?
Assume that the states of the π electrons of a conjugated molecule can be approximated by the wavefunctions of a particle in a one-dimensional box, and that the magnitude of the dipole moment can be related to the displacement along this length by μ = −ex. Show that the transition probability for the transition n = 1 → n = 2 is non-zero, whereas that for n = 1 → n = 3 is zero. Hints: The following relation will be useful: sin x sin y = 1/2cos(x − y) − 1/2cos(x + y). Relevant integrals are given in the Resource section.
Calculate the minimum excitation energy (i.e. the difference in energy between the
ground state and the first excited state) of a proton constrained to rotate in a circle of
radius 100 pm around a fixed point. What wavelength of absorption would this correspond
to?
