Question- Consider a "normal" carbon monoxide molecule (^12C^16O) in its ground electronic level and having the rotational quantum number J = 20 and the vibrational quantum number v =5 . Use the rigid rotor and harmonic oscillator models for description of the molecular rotation and vibrations, respectively. find:
a) The rotational and vibrational energies of the molecule
b) Rotational and vibrational statistical weights of the molecule.
The spectroscope constants of the molecule are omega_e = 2170 cm^-1 and B_e = 1.93 cm ^-1
You must show your work in an efficient manner so I can understand it in clearly
