A silver atom in a solid oscillates in simple harmonic motion in some direction with a frequency of 10¹² s⁻¹. The force constant of the bonds connecting one atom with another is (molar mass of silver =108 g mol⁻¹, Avogadro number =6.02×10²³ mol⁻¹)

Question

Accepted Answer

(2) 7.1 N m⁻¹. Mass of one atom: m=(108×10⁻³)/(6.02×10²³)=1.794×10⁻²⁵ kg. k=mω²=m(2π f)²=1.794×10⁻²⁵×(2π×10¹²)². (2π×10¹²)²=3.95×10²⁵, so k=7.1 N m⁻¹.
