Problem

Photon energies of 3.0×10−23 J3.0\times10^{-23}\,\text{J}, 6.0×10−20 J6.0\times10^{-20}\,\text{J}, and 4.0×10−19 J4.0\times10^{-19}\,\text{J} are observed in separate absorption experiments on the same molecule. Which option correctly assigns each energy to a type of transition? a) rotational: 6.0×10−20 J6.0\times10^{-20}\,\text{J}; vibrational: 3.0×10−23 J3.0\times10^{-23}\,\text{J}; electronic: 4.0×10−19 J4.0\times10^{-19}\,\text{J} b) rotational: 4.0×10−19 J4.0\times10^{-19}\,\text{J}; vibrational: 6.0×10−20 J6.0\times10^{-20}\,\text{J}; electronic: 3.0×10−23 J3.0\times10^{-23}\,\text{J} c) rotational: 3.0×10−23 J3.0\times10^{-23}\,\text{J}; vibrational: 6.0×10−20 J6.0\times10^{-20}\,\text{J}; electronic: 4.0×10−19 J4.0\times10^{-19}\,\text{J} d) rotational: 3.0×10−23 J3.0\times10^{-23}\,\text{J}; vibrational: 4.0×10−19 J4.0\times10^{-19}\,\text{J}; electronic: 6.0×10−20 J6.0\times10^{-20}\,\text{J}
