A simple model of carbon dioxide has two oxygen atoms connected by a spring to a carbon atom. Oscillations of this molecule are responsible for the infrared adsorption that results in global warming. In one oscillation mode the carbon stays fixed while the oxygen atoms undergo SHM in opposite directions. If the effective spring constant is 1.7 kN/m for each bond, what is the oscillation frequency (not angular frequency) of one of the C-O bonds.  Remember single atoms have atomic mass units (amu).  [1.67 x 10-24 g = 1 amu]     4.02 x 10^13 Hz 4.02 x 10^13 Hz 1.27 x 10^12 Hz 1.27 x 10^12 Hz Not enough information to solve Not enough information to solve 1.64 Hz
