An H2 molecule is in its vibrational and rotational ground states. It absorbs aphoton of wavelength 2.2112 µm and makes a transition to the ν = 1, J = 1energy level. It then drops to the ν = 0, J = 2 energy level while emitting6/9SIX1011a photon of wavelength 2.4054 µm. Calculate (i) the moment of inertia of theH2 molecule about an axis through its centre of mass and perpendicular tothe H − H bond, (ii) the vibrational frequency of the H2 molecule, and (iii) theequilibrium separation distance for this molecule.
(b): the potential energy of a diatomic molecule is given by U =

In vibrational spectroscopy, the fundamental band refers to a transition from the n = 0 state
to n = 1, and the first overtone would be from the n = 0 state to n = 2. For carbon monoxide
(CO), the fundamental occurs at 2143.4 cm-¹ and the first overtone at 4259.6 cm-¹.
(a) For an anharmonic oscillator, the energy levels can be written (in wavenumbers) as

Find the values of ve and xeve from the fundamental and overtone transitions in CO.
Report your results in units of cm-¹.
(b) Use the values found for ve and xeve in part (a) to estimate the number of bound
energy levels in CO. (Hint: For an anharmonic oscillator this number is determined by
the point at which the spacing between consecutive levels goes to zero.)
(c) If CO could be modeled as a Morse oscillator, and the values of ve and xeve provide
energy levels consistent with the Morse potential what would be the value of the
parameter D in units of cm-¹? How does this compare with the observed…
