24. The cuvette can be moved horizontally and vertically as well as rotated about a vertical axis in steps of 90°. Therefore, photochemical degradation of the sample is roughly 100 times slower than it is with an immobile sample.

40. For stick boundary conditions to hold, the tangential velocities of the solute and the solvent molecules at the solute-solvent interface are assumed to be the same.
41. One of the transition moments involved (either that for emission or that for absorption) must be polarized along the rotational axis of the ellipsoid for eq 11 to hold.

47. If no tangential force is exerted on the rotating molecule by the solvent, the boundary condition is known to be"slip". Spheres experience zero friction for slip conditions.
