  • Question
  • Why are rotational transitions of little use to a spectroscopist?


  • Options
  • A. Because the energy required to induce a rotational transition is so small that it cannot be measured
  • B. Because rotational transitions are extremely rare
  • C. Because, in liquids and solids, spectral lines corresponding to rotational transitions are broadened as the result of molecular collisions and other interactions
  • D. All of the above
