- Atoms vibrate relative to one another in molecules with the bond acting as a spring. Consider the H – CI bond, where the heavy Cl atom forms a stationary anchor for the very light H atom. That is, only the H atom moves, vibrating as a simple harmonic oscillator. (a) Give the equation that describes the allowed vibrational energy levels of the bond. (b) The force constant kf for the H – Cl bond is 516.3 N m'1. Given the mass of H equal to 1.7 x 1027 kg, determine the difference in energy (separation) between adjacent energy levels.

- Q # 01: Consider a ball of 100g dropped with zero velocity from the height of 2m. Estimate its total energy in eV units. Using the energy conservation, find out the velocity as a function of position of the ball. Sketch its phase trajectory. Calculate the time it takes to reach the ground. Let’s assume that it is bounced back with no loss in its total energy.Will it reachthe same height? Make an analytical argument. What if the collision with the ground is not elastic and it loses some of its energy (which energy?).The ball will eventually come to rest after bouncing few times. Sketch the phase trajectory for the whole duration. What is the range of total energy of this system? Can the energy of this systemassume discrete values? Explain mathematically.arrow_forwardAn electron is confined to move in the xy plane in a rectangle whose dimensions are Lx and Ly. That is, the electron is trapped in a two dimensional potential well having lengths of Lx and Ly. In this situation, the allowed energies of the electron depend on the quant numbers Nx and Ny, the allowed energies are given by E = H^2/8Me ( Nx^2/ Lx^2 + Ny^2/Ly^2) i) assuming Lx and Ly =L.
