Which outcome usually occurs when a pulsed laser excites a Raman-active molecule?

💡 Explanation

The intense laser causes Raman scattering, and vibrational energy level shifts induce the **Raman Effect**. Therefore, frequencies lower in energy (Stokes' light) usually dominate the spectrum, because most molecules exist in the ground state rather than excited levels.
