Lecture 9 Vibrational Spectroscopy
Only photons of one specified wavelength are absorbed Excited state Ground state
Width Velocity of a particle >1000 m/s Doppler Speed of light 300,000,000 m/s collisions Approximately as Doppler Both effects increase with the temperature and decrease with the size of the molecule/atom Width is around 0.01-0.001 nm in visible area Multiple energy levels
Energy levels of excited state Energy sublevels Energy levels of ground state
A primitive rule: Molecular spectra - widebands Atomic spectra - narrowlines
1 - ideal (harmonic) oscilator Dissociation energy 2 - real (anharmonic) oscilator Energy level/ vibrational quantum number
IR Raman
Frequency Wavenumber
Rayleigh scattering No changes!
Raman scattering Escaping photon has smaller energy because the molecule did not return to the ground state
