Consider a molecule of hydrogen chloride, HCl. In this molecule, the light hydrogen atom orbits the heavy Cl atom, much like an electron orbits a heavy nucleus in an atom. The energy of H in the molecule is quantized. When exposed to electromagnetic field, the molecule HCl absorbs photons that promote the hydrogen atom to higher energy states, corresponding to faster rotation of H about Cl. What do you think is the approximate frequency of these photons?

a) The frequency is in the gamma-ray range.

b) The frequency is in the X-ray range.

c) The frequency is in the ultraviolet range.

d) The frequency is in the microwave range.
