1. The three normal modes of water are the symmetric stretch ( 1 ~  = 3652 cm-1 ), the antisymmetric stretch ( 3 ~  = 3756 cm-1 ), and the bend ( 2 ~  = 1595 cm-1 ). Each normal mode has a harmonic oscillator potential. (a) Calculate the molecular vibrational partition function of water at 3000 K. (b) (All at 3000 K.) What fraction of water molecules have the bend excited to v2=1. What fraction of water molecules have the symmetric stretch excited to v1=1? Why do more molecules have the bend excited? What fraction of water molecules have both v2=1 and v1=1 excited? (c) Recalculate the fractions when the temperature is raised to 6000 K. Comment on the changes.

Normal Modes and Resonance Frequencies

A normal mode of a closed system is an oscillation of the system in which all parts oscillate at a single frequency. In general there are an infinite number ofsuch modes, each one with a distinctive frequency fi and associated pattern of oscillation.Consider an example of a system with normal modes: a string of length L held fixed at both ends, located at x=0 and x=L. Assume that waves on this stringpropagate with speed v. The string extends in the...

Raman scattering from the CO2 molecule occurs on the symmetric stretch mode (see Fig. 23-22), which vibrates at 40 THz. If the usual isotope of oxygen (8 protons, 8 neutrons) is replaced by one with 8 protons and 10 neutrons (18O), the mass that governs the vibrational frequency in Eq. (5-8) will be increased by the factor 18/16. (a) Determine the molecular vibrational frequency for CO2 with the 18O isotope. (b) If the incident light has wavelength 800 nm, calculate...

Symmetric Authenticated Encryption (AE) Explain intuition behind authenticated encryption modes, and fully describe one mode of your choice with block diagrams. You can use PowerPoint drawing tools to draw your block diagrams. If you strictly wish to avoid drawing, you can also express modes of operations with proper algorithmic descriptions. For example, one can express ECB mode as simple as C_i ß E(K,M_i), i=1,…,n, where n is the number of message blocks. You can seek from various resources how to...
