Q10(a). Stokes and anti-Stokes intensities: rotational vs vibrational Raman
The anti-Stokes lines of the pure rotational Raman spectrum of a molecule are roughly of the same intensity as the Stokes lines, but anti-Stokes lines of the vibrational Raman spectrum are generally much weaker than the Stokes lines. Account for the observation.
