Problem 4. The absorption spectrum and the \( \mathrm{S}_{1} \rightarrow \mathrm{~S}_{0} \) fluorescence spectrum Rhodamine B dissolved in ethanol (refractive index, 1.35) is given on the OMLC website: http://omlc.org/spectra/PhotochemCAD/index.html Find the value of the radiative time constant ( \( \tau_{\mathrm{rad}} \) ) associated with the \( \mathrm{S}_{1} \rightarrow \mathrm{~S}_{0} \) fluorescence. Use the Strickler-Berg equation (below) to solve this problem. You can read more about Strickler-Berg analysis in: B. Cohen, et al, Faraday Discuss., 2004, 127, 137-147. \[ \begin{array}{l} 1 / \tau_{\mathrm{rad}}=8 \times 2303 \pi c n^{2} N_{\mathrm{a}}{ }^{-1}\left(<\bar{v} \tilde{f}^{-3}>_{\mathrm{Av}}\right)^{-1} \times \frac{\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{s} 0}}{\mathrm{~g}_{\mathrm{s} 1}} \int \varepsilon \mathrm{~d} \ln \bar{v} \\ =2.880 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{n}^{2}\left(\left\langle\bar{v} \bar{f}^{-3}\right\rangle_{\mathrm{Av}}\right)^{-1} \times \frac{\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{s} 0}}{\mathrm{~g}_{\mathrm{s} 1}} \int \frac{\varepsilon}{\bar{v}} \mathrm{~d} \bar{v} \end{array} \] \[ \left(<\bar{v}_{f}^{-3}>_{\mathrm{Av}}\right)^{-1}=\frac{\int \mathrm{I}(\bar{v}) \mathrm{d} \bar{v}}{\int(\bar{v})^{-3} \mathrm{I}(\bar{v}) \mathrm{d} \bar{v}} \]

Step 1
The equation is: \[ 1 / \tau_{\mathrm{rad}} = 2.880 \times 10^{-9} n^{2} \left(\left\langle\bar{v}_{f}^{-3}\right\rangle_{\mathrm{Av}}\right)^{-1} \times \frac{g_{s0}}{g_{s1}} \int \frac{\varepsilon}{\bar{v}} \mathrm{d} \bar{v} \] Where: - \( n \) is the Show more…

The fluorescence quantum yield for benzene at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $0.070 .$ The lifetime of the excited state is $26 \mathrm{nm} .$ What is the radiative lifetime $\tau_{0} ?$
A chemical substance has a decay rate of 9.2% per day. The rate of change of an amount N of the chemical is given by the equation dN/dt = -0.092 N where t is the number of days since decay began. Complete parts a) through c). a) Let N0 represent the amount of the chemical substance at t = 0. Find the exponential function that models the situation. N(t) = N0 b) Suppose that 400 g of the chemical substance is present at t = 0. How much will remain after 3 days? After 3 days, g will remain. (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) c) After how many days will half of the 400 g of the chemical substance remain? After days, half of the chemical substance will remain. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
