Quantum Physics Definition of Vibration for Abstract Art Research

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a definition of vibration as it pertains to quantum physics for use in abstract art research. The original poster, Ana, seeks credible sources to support her exploration of how abstract artists, influenced by Theosophy, conceptualize vibration. A response provides a basic definition of vibration in physics as periodic motion and suggests looking into molecular vibrations. Ana expresses a preference for non-Wikipedia sources due to concerns about reliability and seeks a more accessible explanation that aligns with her artistic context. The conversation highlights the intersection of scientific definitions and artistic interpretations of vibration.

Homework Statement


I wonder where can I find the definition of vibration if it was defined in quantum physics. I need it for my art written work, for Abstract artists - pioneers of modern art were researching vibration through Theosophy teachings and I would like to offer more definitions for I need to approach this with seriousness.

Homework Equations

I would appreciate if you can give me -if possible- a source ( preferably Internet one) that I can refer to - cite from...

The Attempt at a Solution


I apologize for you may not find my approach of finding out myself very professional, but in my search on the Internet I haven't found it. I found many sentences in which word is been used.
Thank you in advance,
Ana.

In simple language of general physics : Vibration is the periodic motion (or oscillatory) which is executed by an object due to the application of external force on it.

Are you talking about ... molecular vibrations : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_vibration

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_harmonic_oscillator

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration
 
Thank you for your answer sankalpmittal.
I guess that I was searching for that molecular vibration definition.
I can't use Wikipedia definitions in my work for as my mentor once said, things in Wikipedia may or may not be true. Also :-p I wish I would understand hehehe - but I don't really understand the language of (q) physics.
In slang or in Theosophy and basically people that are working with healing energy, use the term of vibration for about any thing, may it be color, may it be sound, thought, and things have vibration whether there is some outer pressure or not. It's defined like one of the qualities of the energy (still talking about energy that is defined as everything).
So I was hoping to find something that would on some way support that theory-go hand in hand with that.

Ana.
Thank you both in case you have nothing to add and in case you have.
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
