Question: When displaced from equilibrium by a small amount, the two hydrogen atoms in an H 2 H 2 molecule are acted on by a restoring

When displaced from equilibrium by a small amount, the two hydrogen atoms in an H2H2 molecule are acted on by a restoring force Fx=k1xFx=k1x with k1k1=500 N/mN/m .
Part A
Calculate the oscillation frequency ff of the H2H2 molecule. Use meff=m/2meff=m/2 as the "effective mass" of the system, where mm in the mass of a hydrogen atom.
Take the mass of a hydrogen atom as 1.008 uu, where 1u=1.6611027kg1u=1.6611027kg. Express your answer in hertz.
