Theory The rotation-vibration energy of CO is approximately the sum of harmonic-oscillator energy and rigid-rotor energy:E â hÎ½ e (v+Â½) + h 2 J(J+1)/(8Ï 2 Î¼R e2) ; v=0,1,2,... ; J=0,1,2,... (1)v is the vibration quantum numberJ is the rotation quantum numberÎ½ e is the fundamental vibration frequency = (k/Î¼) 1/2 /(2Ï). Î½ e is in units of s -1 .Ï e is the fundamental vibration frequency in wavenumbers, cm -1 .Ï e = Î½ e /c, where c is the speed of light.Î¼ is the CO reduced mass.
Carnival is derived from the word carnelevare, wich literally translates to removal of meat. The roots of the festival are believed to be in the tradition of Roman Catholics when they abstained from meat and alcohol on certain days as a method to drive away bad things from their life.
We forget the junk and concentrate on Lent and our relationship with God and his Son who loved us to his death. What a marvelous lesson Carnival and Mardi Gras teaches us. It teaches us what truly matters in life â God and other people. Everything else, including all the trinkets of life, are not important.
