Small Oscillations: Normal Modes: Diatomic Molecule Lecture 2

Small oscillations are an important concept in classical mechanics, particularly when studying the stability of equilibrium points and analyzing systems near these points. When a system is displaced slightly from its equilibrium position and the resulting forces are approximately linear, the system undergoes small oscillations. This is a key principle in the study of harmonic […]
