The ozone molecule O 3 has a permanent dipole moment of 1.8 10 -30 C m.

Question:

The ozone molecule O3 has a permanent dipole moment of 1.8 × 10-30 C m. Although the molecule is very slightly bent—which is why it has a dipole moment—it can be modeled as a uniform rod of length 2.5 × 10-10 m with the dipole moment perpendicular to the axis of the rod. Suppose an ozone molecule is in a 5000 N/C uniform electric field. In equilibrium, the dipole moment is aligned with the electric field. But if the molecule is rotated by a small angle and released, it will oscillate back and forth in simple harmonic motion. What is the frequency f of oscillation?
