Which outcome follows when a molecular vibration matches infrared radiation frequency?

💡 Explanation

When the frequency of infrared radiation matches a molecular vibration, resonant absorption occurs, because energy is transferred into the molecule's vibrational mode through vibrational excitation. Therefore, absorption increases selectively at specific frequencies, rather than causing phosphorescence or emission.
