QUESTION:

The moment of inertia for an axis through the center of mass of a diatomic molecule calculated from the wavelength emitted in an \(I=19 \rightarrow I=18\) transition is different from the moment of inertia calculated from the wavelength of the photon emitted in an \(I=1 \rightarrow I=0\)  transition. Explain this difference. Which transition corresponds to the larger moment of inertia?
