Benzene has an ultraviolet absorption at $\lambda_{\max }=204 \mathrm{~nm}$, and para-toluidine has $\lambda_{\max }=235 \mathrm{~nm}$. How do you account for this difference?
The absorption spectrum for benzene in Fig. 14.8 shows maxima at about $180,200,$ and $250 \mathrm{nm} .$ Estimate the integrated absorption coefficients using $\epsilon_{\max }$ and $\Delta \tilde{\nu}_{1 / 2}$ and assuming that the width at half-maximum is $5000 \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ in each case. What are the three oscillator strengths? (See Example 14.7 .)
Using figure (22.1), find the relative luminosity of wavelength (a) $480 \mathrm{~nm}$, (b) $520 \mathrm{~nm}$ (c) $580 \mathrm{~nm}$ and (d) $600 \mathrm{~nm}$.
