For CO2 gas, only the C - O symmetric stretching vibration energy is Raman active and has a value of 1480 cm-1. If a laser with a wavelength lambda = 450 nm is used to excite the molecule. At what wavelength in nm, would you expect to observe a peak for the Raman scattering Stokes line of CO2? At what wavelength would the Rayleigh scattering be observed?
