    In spectroscopy: Rotational energy states

    …diatomic molecule shows that the rotational energy is quantized and is given by EJ = J(J + 1)(h2/8π2I), where h is Planck’s constant and J = 0, 1, 2,… is the rotational quantum number. Molecular rotational spectra originate when a molecule undergoes a transition from one rotational level to another,
