Consider a vibrating proton bonded to a carbon atom: a C-H stretch. Suppose the proton is...
I think I have 1a. but I don't know the other parts.
In class, we showed for the classical harmonic oscillator that: E_ = 1/2 kA^2, where k is spring force constant and A is the amplitude of oscillation. We found that the harmonic oscillator had angular frequency expressed as: omega = Squareroot k/m. We also discussed in class for the classical harmonic oscillator: E_ = E_k +V with E_k = 1/2 mv^2 and V = 1/2 kx^2 a.) Use...
Q10M.9 Consider an HCl molecule. The hydrogen atom irn this molecule has a mass we can look up (see the inside front cover), and the chlorine mass is enough larger that we can (to a first degree of approximation) consider it to be fixed. The bond between these atoms has a local minimum .13 nm, and for "small oscillations" around that minimum, the bond's potential energy can be modeled as a harmonic oscillator potential energy function. Suppose we find that...
