The vibrational energy levels of a diatomic molecule like HCl can be described using the anharmonic oscillator model, which corrects the harmonic oscillator approximation by accounting for bond anharmonicity. The energy levels are given by [ E_v = h\nu_e \left(v + \frac{1}{2}\right) - h\nu_e x_e \left(v + \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 ] where (v = 0, 1, 2, \dots) is the vibrational quantum number, (\nu_e) is the equilibrium vibrational frequency, and (x_e) is the anharmonicity constant. The first overtone corresponds to the transition from (v=0) to (v=2), and the second overtone corresponds to the transition from (v=0) to (v=3). The transition energies for these overtones are [ \begin{aligned} \tilde{\nu}_1 &= E_2 - E_0 = \nu_e (2 -
