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

al relationship between frequency and wavenumber? Between wavenumber and wavelength? What are the units most commonly used for frequency, wavelength, and wavenumber?

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}

(c) Units

(i) Frequency

The units are s⁻¹ or Hz.

(ii) Wavelength

The SI base unit is metres, but infrared wavelengths are usually measured in micrometres (roughly 2.5 µm to 20 µm).

(iii) Wavenumber

The SI base unit is m⁻¹, but infrared wavenumbers are usually measured in cm⁻¹ (roughly 4000 cm⁻¹ to 500 cm⁻¹).

When heat energy is removed, two changes are observed:
Softa [21]

Answer: A is condensation and B is freezing.

The process in which the gas changes to the liquid phase due to the removal of heat is known as condensation. Rains are formed in this way. The water vapour rises. As it raises above it loses heat and then cools down and condenses and comes down as rainfall.

The process in which the liquid changes to a solid on removal of heat is known as freezing. Formation of ice is an example. When the heat is removed at -4 degree Celsius the water freezes to ice.
