The discussion focuses on converting frequency to energy for a vibrating silicon atom, specifically using the relation E = ħω. The user is attempting to transition from a normalized frequency range of 2 to 80 meV, utilizing the formula ω = 2√(K_i/M), where K_i is given as 10.6 eV/Ų and M is the mass of silicon. There is uncertainty about how to achieve the conversion to reach the desired energy values. The user has successfully calculated a frequency in 1/s using the mass of silicon in meV/c² but is seeking further clarification on completing the conversion. Understanding this relationship is crucial for accurately determining energy levels in silicon atoms.

When considering a vibrating silicon atom.
I'm just not sure how to do the conversion
MeV is mega-electron volts which is equivalent to Joules or energy. So you can't convert frequency to energy.

I know, not directly, but I'm looking for a relation that's something along the lines of E=\hbar\omega but I don't know of any.
Essentially, I'm going from a unitless/normalized frequency of 2 to 80 mevs using \omega=2\sqrt{K_i/M} where K_i is 10.6 eV/\AA^2 and M is the mass of silicon. I should get approximately 80 mevs.. Not sure how I get there. I got to 1/s easily by using the mass of silicon in mevs/c^2 but that's about it
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing ,
The core is PLA material (3d printed)
The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm
If the universe is fundamentally probabilistic, and all possible outcomes are realized in some branch of the multiverse, does that invalidate the concept of scientific inquiry? If knowledge is merely a description of one particular branch of reality, does it have any inherent value?
