The ground electronic state of O 2 is 3 g and the next two highest

Question:

The ground electronic state of O2 is 3Σg and the next two highest energy states are 1Δg (7918 cm−1) and 1Σ+g (13195 cm−1), where the value in parentheses is the energy of the state relative to the ground state.

a. Determine the excitation wavelength required for a transition between the ground state and the first two excited states.

b. Are these transitions allowed? Why or why not?
