Ellis and Randy are looking at a molecular absorption spectrum. The spectral lines appear to fall into two groups with a gap in the middle. Ellis says that this must be an absorption spectrum for transitions between the v = 0 and v = 1 vibrational states of a diatomic molecule. Randy says the gap in the middle must occur because a ΔJ = 0 transition is forbidden. Which one, if either, is correct, and why?

Ellis, because rotational levels are separated by greater energy differences than vibrational levels.

Randy, because rotational levels are separated by greater energy differences than vibrational levels.

Ellis, because the ΔJ = 0 transition is the most prominent spectral line in transitions between vibrational levels.

Neither, because rotational levels are separated by greater energies that vibrational levels and ΔJ = 0 transitions are not forbidden.

Both, because vibrational levels are separated by greater energy differences than rotational levels and ΔJ = 0 transitions are forbidden.

Did you know?

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.

Did you know?

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Did you know?

Automated pill dispensing systems have alarms to alert patients when the correct dosing time has arrived. Most systems work with many varieties of medications, so patients who are taking a variety of drugs can still be in control of their dose regimen.

Did you know?

Astigmatism is the most common vision problem. It may accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, but sometimes it is the result of an irregularly shaped lens. Either type can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

Did you know?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released reports detailing the deaths of infants (younger than 1 year of age) who died after being given cold and cough medications. This underscores the importance of educating parents that children younger than 2 years of age should never be given over-the-counter cold and cough medications without consulting their physicians.
