A H2 molecule can be approximated by a simpleharmonic oscillator having a spring constant k = 1.1 ✕103 N/m.
(a) How many different energy transitions are possible when theH2 molecule decays from the third excited state down tothe ground state?
(b) Find the photon energies produced in these transitions andtheir wavelengths. Enter 0 in any unused boxes.
