The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.

$1.$ A diatomic molecule has moment of inertia I. By Bohr's quantization condition its rotational energy in the $\mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}$ level ( $\mathrm{n}=0$ is not allowed) is

$(A)$ $\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}^2}\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}^2}{8 \pi^2 \mathrm{I}}\right)$ $(B)$ $\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}^2}{8 \pi^2 \mathrm{I}}\right)$

$(C)$ $n\left(\frac{h^2}{8 \pi^2 \mathrm{I}}\right)$ $(D)$ $\mathrm{n}^2\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}^2}{8 \pi^2 \mathrm{I}}\right)$

$2.$ It is found that the excitation frequency from ground to the first excited state of rotation for the $\mathrm{CO}$ molecule is close to $\frac{4}{\pi} \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~Hz}$. Then the moment of inertia of $\mathrm{CO}$ molecule about its centre of mass is close to (Take $\mathrm{h}=2 \pi \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}$ )

$(A)$ $2.76 \times 10^{-46} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2$ $(B)$ $1.87 \times 10^{-46} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2$

$(C)$ $4.67 \times 10^{-47} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2$ $(D)$ $1.17 \times 10^{-47} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2$

$3.$ In a $\mathrm{CO}$ molecule, the distance between $\mathrm{C}$ (mass $=12$ a.m.u) and $\mathrm{O}$ (mass $=16$ a.m.u.), where $1$ a.m.u. $=\frac{5}{3} \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$, is close to

$(A)$ $2.4 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}$ $(B)$ $1.9 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}$

$(C)$ $1.3 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}$ $(D)$ $4.4 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~m}$

Give the answer question $1,2$ and $3.$
