Questions and Answers

What is a condition to obtain microwave spectra?

The molecule must have a permanent dipole moment to obtain microwave spectra.

Define the term refractive index.

The refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.

State Grothus - Draper law.

Grothus - Draper law states that only the absorbed portion of light contributes to photochemical processes.

What is meant by wave-particle duality?

<p>Wave-particle duality refers to the concept that particles such as electrons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the Raman Effect? What are the Stokes and anti-Stokes lines?

<p>The Raman Effect is a scattering phenomenon where incident light interacts with molecular vibrations, altering its wavelength. Stokes lines correspond to lower energy, while anti-Stokes lines relate to higher energy transitions.</p> Signup and view all the answers
