We use the spectroscopic wave number in units of reciprocal centimeters for the unit of energy throughout the text. 1 cm\(^{-1}\) is equivalent to a frequency of about 30 GHz and hence to an energy of approximately \(2\cdot 10^{-23}\) J, the energy of a single photon with a wavelength of one centimeter.
