With ω,-VRA, the energies of the stationary states in a Morse potential are En (hwo) 4D ho(n+ 1/2)- (n + 1/2)2. (A) On the same graph, plot the Morse potential and the harmonic potential as a function of bond length (from 0.7 Te to 2 re).(B) Describe the differences. Why is the Morse potential typically considered a better approximation than the harmonic potential? (C) Calculate the energy (in eV) and wavenumber (in cm1) of the absorptive transition n-0-n 1 (the fundamental transition), for both the Morse and the harmonic potential. (D) Explain the differences you see between the two models.
