If a photon comes from outside, or if the molecule is irradiated with light, electrons in the HOMO can be excited to the Lumo. (I think that's what I'm going for.) The energy difference between the two molecular orbitals or two states should correspond to the energy of the photon whose...

So. I need to calculate the wavelength of light that's required in order to excite the pi electrons of B-carotene from n=11 to n=13. The Length of the wavelength of L is 17.7 A. I know how to look at the particle in a box method. And I know that the wavelength of light for B-carotene is 450...

I would. I have friends with whom I can talk about weird intellectual stuff. As long as he's not an idiot, I don't mind. But I am starting to realize that there is a very noticeable difference in personality between people who enjoy learning and thinking, and those who never even cared to pay...

It said 50/50. I don't much think that this is a proper way of judging whether or not an individual is capable of having a successful relationship. There are a lot of varying circumstances in every situation. People are strange, and rather different from one another.

Hahaha wow. My hope for the world is failing.

The French Revolution was pretty cool. I was originally getting my BA in History, and that was one of my favorite things to discuss. It was pretty brutal.

So this is me introducing myself. Hello. I'm Yami. Live in Washington. Physics is awesome. I found this forum because I was looking for extra information to help me out with a class that I'm taking on the quantum mechanics of molecules. I don't remember what thread it was, but it was actually...
