Find the wavelengths emitted in all allowed transitions between the first three rotational states in the \(n=1\) level to any states in the \(n=0\) level in \(\mathrm{H}_{2},\) whose rotational inertia and classical vibration frequency are \(4.60 \times 10^{-48} \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\) and \(3.69 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{Hz}, \mathrm{re}-\) spectively.
A molecule with rotational inertia \(I\) undergoes a transition from the / th rotational level to the \((l-1)\) /th level. Show that the wavelength of the emitted photon is \(\lambda=4 \pi^{2} I c / h l\).
What are the approximate relative magnitudes of the energies associated with electronic excitation of a molecule, with molecular vibration, and with molecular rotation?
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a substance that was first extracted from jellyfish; variants are used to "tag" biological molecules for study. The original "wild" GFP absorbs 395 -nm light, undergoing an upward transition to an excited state. Movement of a proton within the protein then excites it to 2.44 eV above the ground state. Photons emitted in the subsequent downward transition to the ground state provide a visual indication of the GFP's location as seen in a microscope. What's the wavelength of these photons?
Why does the size of the band gap determine whether a material is an insulator or a semiconductor?
