Solved: If a sodium chloride (NaCl) molecule could undergo

QUESTION:

If a sodium chloride (NaCl) molecule could undergo an \(n \rightarrow n-1\) vibrational transition with no change in rotational quantum number, a photon with wavelength 20.0 \(\mu \mathrm{m}\) would be emitted. The mass of a sodium atom is \(3.82 \times 10^{-26}\) kg and the mass of a chlorine atom is \(5.81 \times 10^{-26}\) kg. Calculate the force constant \(k^{\prime}\) for the interatomic force in NaCl.
