Q63

The allowed rotational energy levels of a rigid hetero-nuclear diatomic molecule are expressed as εJ = BJ (J + 1), where B is the rotational constant and J is a rotational quantum number. In a system of such diatomic molecules of reduced mass μ, some of the atoms of one element are replaced by a heavier isotope, such that the reduced mass is changed to 1.05μ. In the rotational spectrum of the system, the shift in the spectral line, corresponding to a transition J = 4 → J = 5, is
