Theory The rotation-vibration energy of CO is approximately the sum of harmonic-oscillator energy and rigid-rotor energy:E â hÎ½ e (v+Â½) + h 2 J(J+1)/(8Ï 2 Î¼R e2) ; v=0,1,2,... ; J=0,1,2,... (1)v is the vibration quantum numberJ is the rotation quantum numberÎ½ e is the fundamental vibration frequency = (k/Î¼) 1/2 /(2Ï). Î½ e is in units of s -1 .Ï e is the fundamental vibration frequency in wavenumbers, cm -1 .Ï e = Î½ e /c, where c is the speed of light.Î¼ is the CO reduced mass.
Carnival is derived from the word carnelevare, wich literally translates to removal of meat. The roots of the festival are believed to be in the tradition of Roman Catholics when they abstained from meat and alcohol on certain days as a method to drive away bad things from their life.
Don't confuse Carnival and Mardi Gras! Carnival refers to the period of feasting and fun that begins on Jan. 6, The Feast of the Epiphany. Mardi Gras refers to Fat Tuesday, the final day of revelry before Ash Wednesday, when Lent begins.
