Question

the force constant of HF molecule is 970n/m . calculate the zero point vibrational energy​

Answer 1

Of the above terms, zero-point energy and energy level spacings need further explanation:

[Math Processing Error] is the lowest possible energy of the molecule in its ground state, i.e. the energy [Math Processing Error] as a function of the vibrational quantum number [Math Processing Error], at the energy level [Math Processing Error].

The energy levels for this simple harmonic oscillator model go as [Math Processing Error], and the energy level spacings are assumed even, because there is no dampening of this ideal spring over time
