$$k_r=2.88\times10^{-9}n^2\langle\tilde{v}\rangle_\text{av}^2 \int\varepsilon_{\tilde{v}}d\tilde{v}$$

$$f=4.32\times10^{-9}\int\varepsilon_{\tilde{v}}d\tilde{v}$$

I plan to use the above equations to calculate the lifetime $k_r$ of a fluorescent molecule. I need to calculate the oscillator strength $f$ in the 2nd equation, but I don't understand how to use the equation used to calculate the oscillator strength.

    $\begingroup$ That depends on what data you have. In quantum chemistry calculations, for example, you calculate f from the transition dipoles, not from the equation that you mentioned. Your equation is only useful when you want to calculate f from the experimental absorption spectrum. Moreover, please note that $k_r$ is not the lifetime; its reciprocal is the lifetime, but only when the non-radiative relaxation pathways of the molecule are negligible, which is frequently not true. $\endgroup$
