CONTEXT-RICH, BIOLOGICAL APPLICATION You work in a biochemical research lab, where you are investigating the rotational energy levels of the HBr molecule. After consulting the periodic chart, you know that the mass of the bromine atom is 80 times that of the hydrogen atom. Consequently, in calculating the rotational motion of the molecule, you assume, to a good approximation, that the Br nucleus remains stationary as the H atom revolves around it. You also know that the separation between the hydrogen atom and bromine nucleus is Calculate (a) the moment of inertia of the HBr molecule about the bromine nucleus, and (b) the rotational energies for the bromine nucleuss ground state (lowest energy) and the next two states of higher energy (called the first and second excited states) described by and
