(choose chapter or problem)

CP CALC (a) Consider the hydrogen molecule to be a simple harmonic oscillator with an equilibrium spacing of and estimate the vibrational energy-level spacing for The mass of a hydrogen atom is (Hint: Estimate the force constant by equating the change in Coulomb repulsion of the protons, when the atoms move slightly closer together than to the spring force. That is, assume that the chemical binding force remains approximately constant as r is decreased slightly from (b) Use the results of part (a) to calculate the vibrational energy-level spacing for the deuterium molecule, Assume that the spring constant is the same for as for The mass of a deuterium atom is 3.34 * 10-27 kg.
