Question
P7E.1 If the vibration of a diatomic A-B is modelled using a harmonic
oscillator, the vibrational frequency is given by w=(k; /u)", where u is the
effective mass, µ=m,m,/(m, +m,). If atom A is substituted by an isotope
(for example H substituted for 'H), then to a good approximation the force
constant remains the same. Why? (Hint: Is there any change in the number
of charged species?) (a) Show that when an isotopic substitution is made for
atom A, such that its mass changes from m, to m, the vibrational frequency
of A'-B, wAp can be expressed in terms of the vibrational frequency of A-B,
@ An as o x=0 A (H/H", where u AB and u, are the effective masses of
A-B and A'-B, respectively. (b) The vibrational frequency of 'HCl is 5.63 x
10"s". Calculate the vibrational frequency of (i) 'H*Cl and (ii) 'H"Cl. Use
integer relative atomic masses.
