The equations that connect the wavenumbers of rotational transitions with rotational and centrifugal distortion constants can be arranged as:
v(J+1 <- J) /{2(J+1)}=B-2DJ(J+1)2
which is the equation of a straight line when the left-hand side is plotted against (J+1)2. The following wavenumbers of transitions (in cm-1) were observed for 16C18O:
J | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
3.845033 | 7.689919 | 11.534510 | 15.378662 | 19.22223 |
Determine B, DJ, and the equilibirum bond length of CO.
