In which one of the following regions of the electromagnetic spectrum will the vibrational motion of molecules give rise to absorption?

Options

  1. AUltraviolet
  2. BMicrowave
  3. CInfrared
  4. DRadio wave

Correct answer

B. Microwave

Step-by-step solution

Molecular spectra due to vibrational motion lies in the microwave region of electromagnetic spectrum. Due to Kirchhoffs law in spectroscopy the same will be absorbed.
