In a Transition from One Vibrational State to Another, a Molecule

question 165

Multiple Choice

In a transition from one vibrational state to another, a molecule emits a photon of wavelength $5.56$ $\mu \mathrm { m }$ . What is the energy difference between these two states? $\left( c = 3.00 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } , h = 6.626 \times 10 ^ { - 34 } \mathrm {~J} \right.$ $\cdot \mathrm { s } , 1 \mathrm { eV } = 1.60 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm {~J}$ )

• A) \(2.23 \mathrm { MeV }\)
• B) \(0.223 \mathrm { eV }\)
• C) \(0.223 \mathrm { MeV }\)
• D) \(13.6 \mathrm { MeV }\)
• E) \(13.6 \mathrm { eV }\)

Behavior Changes

modifications or adjustments in actions or reactions of an organism due to various factors like learning or adaptation.

Learning

The acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes, or behaviors through study, experience, or teaching.

Permanent

Permanent describes a state or condition that is intended to last or remain unchanged indefinitely, without an endpoint.

Learning

A process that results in a relatively permanent change in behavior or knowledge, due to experience.
