1. The carbon-oxygen CO diatomic molecule. (a) Calculate the moment of inertia 1 (in kg.m2) and reduced mass u for the CO molecule. You can assume that the bond length for the CO molecule is 0.113 nm. (b) Calculate the rotational energy levels (in eV) for the first 4 rotational states of the CO molecule. (c) Given that the CO molecule has a force constant k = 1860 N/m. Determine the vibrational frequency of this molecule and the energy levels (in eV) for the first 3 vibrational states. (d) Compare the difference in energy levels AE for vibrational and rotational transitions of the CO molecule. Draw an effective energy level diagram to (roughly) scale for the vibrational and rotational energy states you calculated in part (b) and (c). a
