I have a question regarding calculationg the effective spring constant, K, for a CO molecule. The actual question regards the relation between the angular frequency for the molecule and the rigidity K. Look at my teachers solution he gives the following formula relating those:
K(CO) = m'*w^2
, where m' is the reduced mass for the CO molecule and w is the angular frequency. I don't understand this formula at all, where does it come from? If someone has some insights in this, please help :)
