Molecular Spectroscopy

Subtopic: Raman Effect & Selection Rules

Question Statement:

The spacing between two consecutive S-branch lines of the rotational Raman spectra of hydrogen gas is 243.2 cm 1. After excitation with a laser of wavelength 514.5 nm, the Stoke's line appeared at 17611.4 cm 1 for a particular energy level. The wavenumber (rounded off to the nearest integer), in CM 1 , at which Stoke's line will appear for the next higher energy level is
