Which mechanism limits the energy absorption of a molecule during UV spectroscopy?

💡 Explanation

When a molecule absorbs UV light, the Franck-Condon principle dictates that electronic transitions occur faster than nuclear motions, creating a vertical transition to an excited vibrational state. Therefore Franck-Condon limit restricts energy absorption rather than ground state filling, spin restriction, or angular momentum which determine electronic configuration.
