Question: Consider the collision: N 2 (i) + Ar N 2 (j) + Ar where i and j are the vibrational quantum numbers of N

Consider the collision:

N2(i) + Ar → N2(j) + Ar

where i and j are the vibrational quantum numbers of N2. Assume that N2 is a harmonic oscillator with frequency 7.08×1013 s−1 . If the initial velocity of N2 has a magnitude of 1.4×103m s−1 and the initial velocity of Ar has a magnitude of 2.0×103 m s−1 , what is the maximum value of j if:

(a) i = 0

(b) i = 2
