6 Is Carbon Monoxide A Rigid Rotator? Excited states of carbon monoxide (CO) can be observed by measuring the absorption spectrum shown below. The molecule can both vibrate and rotate at the same time. The rotational energy states of a rigid rotator are E l = 2 l(l + 1) 2I where I is the moment of inertia. The vibrational part of the energy is described by the harmonic oscillator so E n = (n ) ω 0 with E = ω 0 = 0.25 ± 0.05 ev from our previous results.
