Introduction to polymers

...energy input than bending, so radiation is absorbed at a higher frequency than rocking. Since frequency, v is inversely proportional to wavelength, λ (from the formula λ = c/v, where c is the velocity of light), C—H bonds will absorb IR radiation at a lower wavelength when stretching compared to rocking. Of functional groups, the carbonyl group (C=O) is especially...
