Homework Statement



Calculate the bond length for the NaCl molecule given that three successive wavelengths for rotational transitions are 23.1 mm, 11.6, mm and 7.71 mm.


Homework Equations



I = h*wavelength/4pi*speed of light.

The Attempt at a Solution



I don't understand how to incorporate the wavelengths.
But the thing is, I have three wavelengths, not one. Should I take the difference between the three?
