Calculate the frequency of the J = 3 2 transition in the pure rotational spectrum of 12C16O. The equilibrium bond length is 112.81 pm.
You will perform rotational spectroscopy on the diatomic molecule 25A29B
(where A and B are generic elements with an interatomic spacing that is
expected to be 1.28 Å). Prior to the experiment, you want to predict what
the spectrum will look like so you know what to expect and one spectral
line you are particularly interested in is the transition between l =2 and the
next higher state. What is the wavenumber (in cm-1) of the photon for this
transition? Write your answer to two decimal places (X.XX).
