QUESTION:

Problem 35P

A hypothetical diatomic molecule of oxygen (mass = 2.656 × 10-26 kg) and hydrogen (mass = 1.67 × 10-27 kg) emits a photon of wavelength 2.39 μm when it makes a transition from one vibrational state to the next lower state. If we model this molecule as two point masses at opposite ends of a massless spring, (a) what is the force constant of this spring, and (b) how many vibrations per second is the molecule making?

For a fixed initial speed, the range of a projectile is determined by the angle at which it is fired. For all but the maximum, there are two angles that give the same range. Considering factors that might affect the ability of an archer to hit a target, such as wind, explain why the smaller angle (cl
