Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Backbone in a nucleic acids strand is made up of sugar molecules attached with phosphodiester bond.

This sugar-phosphate linkage helps in joining of nucleotides in a DNA sequence. Due to this backbone structural framework of nucleotides is formed. In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose.

Thus, we can conclude that the backbone in a nucleic acids strand is called sugar backbone.

In IR spectroscopy, we normally talk about "frequencies" when in reality we are referring to wavenumbers. What is the mathematic

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

(b) Wavenumber and wavelength

The wavenumber is the distance over which a cycle repeats, that is, it is the number of waves in a unit distance.

$\bar \nu = \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$

Thus, if λ = 3 µm,

$\bar \nu = \dfrac{1}{3 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}}= 3.3 \times 10^{5}\text{ m}^{-1} = \textbf{3300 cm}^{-1}$

(a) Wavenumber and frequency

Since

λ = c/f and 1/λ = f/c

the relation between wavenumber and frequency is

$\bar \nu = \mathbf{\dfrac{f}{c}}$

Thus, if f = 90 THz

$\bar \nu = \dfrac{90 \times 10^{12} \text{ s}^{-1}}{3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m$\cdot$ s}^{-1}}= 3 \times 10^{5} \text{ m}^{-1} = \textbf{3000 cm}^{-1}$
