Expert Solution
Step 1

IR frequency :

The IR frequency directly proportional to force constant(k) and inversely proportional to the mass(m).

Frequency(ν)=12πkμk=force constantμ=reduced mass

The force constant directly proportional to the bond strength.

i.e. The stronger the bond, the higher the IR frequency and vice versa.
