Q98 · CSIR-NET Chemistry, December 2016

Paper: CSIR-NET December 2016 · Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Molecular Spectroscopy · Topic: Molecular Spectroscopy – General · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium

The rotational constant and the fundamental vibrational frequency of $\mathrm{HBr}$ are, respectively, $10\,\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$ and $2000\,\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$. The corresponding values for $\mathrm{DBr}$ approximately are
(a)$20\,\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$ and $2000\,\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$
(b)$10\,\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$ and $1410\,\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$
(c)$5\,\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$ and $2000\,\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$
(d)$5\,\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$ and $1410\,\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$
