With respect to rotational symmetry operation which of the following symmetry is not possible
- A.
5-fold symmetry
- B.
6-fold symmetry
- C.
4-fold symmetry
- D.
3-fold symmetry
Correct Answer

In free space, X-ray travels in ______________
- A.
Periodic oscillations
- B.
Non-Periodic oscillations
- C.

Correct Answer
B. Excited electronic states have the same equilibrium internuclear distance as the ground electronic state.Explanation
The Born-Oppenheimer approximation states that the electronic and nuclear motions in a molecule can be treated separately. This means that the electrons move much faster than the nuclei, so the statement "The electrons in a molecule move much faster than the nuclei" is a correct aspect of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Additionally, the approximation assumes that the electronic and vibrational motions of a molecule are approximately separable, meaning they can be treated independently. It also states that the electronic energy curves serve as potential energy functions for nuclear vibrational motion. However, the statement "Excited electronic states have the same equilibrium internuclear distance as the ground electronic state" is not a correct aspect of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C.Explanation
The relation between wavelength, frequency, and velocity of a wave is given by the equation: wavelength = velocity / frequency. This equation states that the wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to its frequency and directly proportional to its velocity. In other words, as the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases, and vice versa. Additionally, as the velocity of a wave increases, its wavelength also increases. This equation is fundamental in understanding the behavior and characteristics of waves in various contexts such as light, sound, and electromagnetic waves.Rate this question:

Raman effect is scattering of ________
- A.
Atoms
- B.
Molecules
- C.
Protons
- D.
Photons
Correct Answer
D. pHotonsExplanation
The Raman effect is the scattering of photons. When light interacts with a material, some of the photons can undergo a change in energy and wavelength. This change is caused by the interaction between the photons and the vibrational or rotational modes of the material's molecules. This phenomenon, known as the Raman effect, provides valuable information about the molecular structure and dynamics of the material being studied.Rate this question:

The Raman spectrum is said to consist of Strokes lines when ________
- A.
Δv > 0
- B.
Δv < 0
- C.
Δv = 0
- D.
Does not depend on Δv
Correct Answer
A. Δv > 0Explanation
The Raman spectrum is said to consist of Stokes lines when there is a positive shift in the frequency (Δv > 0). Stokes lines occur when the scattered light has less energy than the incident light, indicating that the molecule has gained energy from the interaction with the incident light. This shift in frequency is known as the Raman shift and is a characteristic feature of the Raman spectrum.Rate this question:

Raman effect is analogues to which effect
- A.
Meissner effect
- B.
Zeeman effect
- C.
Compton effect
- D.
Stark effect
Correct Answer
C. Compton effectExplanation
The Raman effect is analogous to the Compton effect. Both effects involve the interaction of photons with matter. In the Raman effect, a photon is scattered by a molecule, resulting in a change in its energy and wavelength. Similarly, in the Compton effect, a photon interacts with an electron, causing it to recoil and resulting in a change in the photon's energy and wavelength. Both effects provide valuable information about the nature of matter and have been extensively studied in the field of quantum mechanics.Rate this question:

Which of the following theory explain Raman effect satisfactorily
- A.
Classical Theory
- B.
Quantum Theory
- C.
Langevin Theory
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Quantum TheoryExplanation
Quantum Theory is the correct answer because it provides a satisfactory explanation for the Raman effect. The Raman effect refers to the inelastic scattering of light, where the scattered light undergoes a change in wavelength. This phenomenon can be explained by the interaction between light and the vibrational modes of molecules. Quantum Theory accurately describes the behavior of particles and their interactions, including the interaction between photons and molecules in the Raman effect. Classical Theory and Langevin Theory do not provide a satisfactory explanation for this phenomenon.Rate this question:

It has been observed that Raman spectra occur due to changes in
- A.
The Molecular states
- B.
An Atomic state
- C.
Both Atomic and Molecular state
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. The Molecular statesExplanation
Raman spectra occur due to changes in the molecular states. Raman spectroscopy is a technique that involves the interaction of light with molecules, causing the molecules to undergo vibrational or rotational changes. These changes in molecular states result in the Raman spectra, which provide information about the molecular structure and composition. Atomic states alone do not contribute to Raman spectra, as Raman scattering primarily involves the interaction of light with molecular vibrations. Therefore, the correct answer is the molecular states.Rate this question:
