The first three Stokes lines in the rotational Raman spectrum of 16O2 are separated by 14.4 cm^-1, 25.8 cm^-1, and 37.4 cm^-1 from the exciting radiation. Using the rigid rotor approximation, obtain a value for r0.

Step 1
Step 1: The formula for the separation between adjacent lines in the rotational Raman spectrum is given by: \[ \Delta \nu = \frac{2}{I} \] where \( \Delta \nu \) is the separation between adjacent lines, and \( I \) is the moment of inertia of the molecule. Show more…

Problem #2: The Raman shift for the Si symmetric stretch mode is 520 cm-1. a) If you are illuminating a sample of silica with a 488.0 nm Argon laser; calculate the Stokes and anti-Stokes wavelengths for this phonon. b) Calculate the Stokes and anti-Stokes wavelengths for this phonon if you are illuminating your sample with 543 nm laser radiation. c) Why do the values for the wavelengths of the scattered radiation change when a different illuminating source is used? d) Why is it conventional to characterize phonon modes in terms of wavenumber instead of wavelength? e) Sketch the polarizability curve that corresponds to this phonon resonance.
