The spring (force) constant of HF is 970 N/m (1 N = 1 kg m
s2 ).
(A) Calculate the fundamental frequency (expressed in units of
cm-1 ) and the zero point energy (in energy units, J).
(B) Earlier in the term we discussed the relationship between
the energy and the position and momentum uncertainties. For the
harmonic oscillator case, it would be
E ≥ ((Δp) 2 / 2µ) + (1 / 2) µω2 (Δx)
