To a good approximation, the hydrogen chloride molecule, HCl, behaves vibrationally as a quantum harmonic oscillator of spring constant 480 N/m and with effective oscillating mass just that of the lighter atom, hydrogen. If it were in its ground vibrational state, what wavelength photon would be just right to bump this molecule up to its next-higher vibrational energy state?
