[SOLVED] reduced mass?!
Hi there,
I know the reduced mass is defining with the below formula:
[tex]\frac{1}{\mu}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{m _{1}} + \frac{1}{m_{2}} + ... [/tex]
In Bohr's radius when i want to find the [tex]\mu[/tex] i use the
m1 = mass of electron
m2 = mass of poroton
but what if i need to find the reduced mass of a molecule like HCI ?
do i have to take the masses of all electrons and protons the molecule has or do i have to just take the masses of C & H & I?
I need it to solve the problem 1.5 page 26 from book: Modern Spectroscopy by Hollas
thanks
