Ok so here's another problem that i just completely don't understand at all. Thanks for your help.
A linear chain consists of 2N equally spaced identical particles with mass m and speration a, coupled by springs with alternating constands k1 and k2. Use the periodicity of the system to find the dispersion relation and sketch the resulting function ω (q). Hint: Assume
η2j = [tex]\alpha[/tex]e^i[2jaq-ωt] , η2j+1 = βe^i[(2j+1)aq - ωt]
