Solved: The moment of inertia for an axis through the

Chapter 42, Problem Q42.4

(choose chapter or problem)

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