    I How Do Charge-less Molecules Like Methane Absorb Light?

    Thank you for your explanation. With all due respect, I think this is not the answer of my question though. Maybe I should rephrase it: All I am asking is if CH4 molecule (for example) is vibrating with the frequency of light (in this case, c/3.3 um=9.1*10^13 Hz) that is absorbed or light...

    I How Do Charge-less Molecules Like Methane Absorb Light?

    Can anyone please give me an advice on the above/below question: Can we relate the molecular vibration to resonance effect? i.e. Does it mean that if CH4 absorbs 3.3 um light, it is really vibrating with the frequency of c/3.3 um (c is the speed of light) and that is why higher or lower...

    I How Do Charge-less Molecules Like Methane Absorb Light?

    Thank you for all this helpful information. Just one more question: How can we relate absorption phenomenon to the "resonance" which happens when the frequency of applied external source is very close to the natural frequency of the vibrating objects. In the case of CH4 , for example, can we...

    I How Do Charge-less Molecules Like Methane Absorb Light?

    We know that molecules absorb light based on their electronical, rotational, and vibrational transitions and the governed transition rules (so that each molecule has its own "fingerprints"). But I do not know why it happens? Lets simplify it a little: A methane molecule, for example, is...
