When Radiation Interacts With Matter
« on: January 23, 2007, 10:08:30 AM »
In terms of sub-atomic particles, what happens when we say that we've increased the rotational energy of a molecule? I have been told that a molecule's rotational/ translational energy is not associated with the energy of it's electrons.  :-\

Need... some... guidance...

It spins faster.
