Extract

The energy levels of a rotating vibrator have been calculated by the late J. L. Dunham (1932). The theory of the rotating vibrator is important, because it provides a method for direct quantitative study of molecular structure from the band spectra of diatomic molecules. The purpose of this paper is to extend Dunham's results and to express them in a form more convenient for numerical calculation.
