What are the selection rules for vibrational-rotational transitions?

Answer»

Hey mate


Both the VIBRATIONAL and rotational quantum NUMBERS must change. The TRANSITION : (Q-branch) is forbidden.

The energy change of ROTATION can be either subtracted from or added to the energy change of vibration, giving the P- and R- branches of the SPECTRUM, respectively.


Hope this satisfies you
