distributed.
(c) Draw the R-branch of IR spectrum graph; intensity versus the wavenumber (cm-1) at 300 K.
Assume that the intensities are proportional to the population of the originating state.
2. Raman peak of Si can be measured at 521 cm-1 when you use a 514 nm laser. Answer the
following questions.

1) Increase the temperature → larger population of molecules in higher energy states → increase
the probability of anti-Stokes scattering (𝑒 ℎ𝑣𝑖/𝑘𝐵 𝑇 decreasing)
2) Decrease the frequency of an incident laser (Increase the wavlength of an incident laser) →
𝑣𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑘𝑒𝑠 𝑣 −𝑣 4
Frequency ratio 𝑣𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖−𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑘𝑒𝑠
decreases → (𝑣𝑜 +𝑣𝑖) decreases
