Physics · Classical Mechanics
A diatomic molecule is modeled as two atoms of equal mass m connected by a spring of force constant k. The molecule moves in one dimension under the influence of an external potential: V(x1, x2) = 12mω02(x12 + x22) If one normal mode frequency of the molecule is ω0, then the other normal mode frequency is:
- 1√(ω02 − k/m)
- 2√(ω02 − 2k/m)
- 3√(ω02 + 2k/m)✓
- 4√(ω02 + k/m)
Correct answer
√(ω02 + 2k/m)
