A C¬D (carbon–deuterium) bond is electronically much like a C¬H bond, and it has a similar stiffness, measured by the spring constant, k. The deuterium atom has twice the mass (m) of a hydrogen atom, however. A chemist dissolves a sample in deuterochloroform (CDCl3) and then decides to take the IR spectrum and simply evaporates most of the CDCl3. What functional group will appear to be present in this IR spectrum as a result of theCDCl3 impurity?

I know that the answer to this question is 60, but I am struggling to understand why. Could somebody please draw this out for me 3-dimensionally or explain to me in detail why this is the case? One explanation I've heard is that it is because when the dihedral angle between the two methyl groups is 60, the molecular dipole moment between the two chlorine atoms is the smallest, therefore the answer is 60. This explanation is meaningless to me - that does not even seem to be what the question is asking. Is it a poorly-worded question? i need good explanation
