Question

Which of the following types of transition would require the shortest wavelength radiation? Rotational transitions Vibrational transitions Electronic transitions A molecule which has absorbed a photon of energy in the visible range could move from the excited electronic state S_1 to a highly excited vibrational level of the ground state (S_0) with the same energy. This process is fluorescence. internal conversion. intersystem crossing. Compared to the incident (exciting) radiation, fluorescent emission will have a higher energy. higher frequency. longer wavelength.

Explanation / Answer

(13) (c) Electroninc transition require higher energy (shorter wave length) than vibrational and rotational transitions.

(14) (a) Fluoroscene (S1 to S0)

(15) (c) Longer wave length
