The wavelength of a microwave absorption line in CO corresponding to a transition from / = 0 to / = 1 is 2.60 mm. (a) Calculate the rotational inertia of the CO molecule. (b) Show that it is impossible for this amount of energy (corresponding to a photon of wavelength 2.60 mm) to be absorbed by CO in a vibrational transition.
