Vibrational Frequencies

Vibrational frequencies refer to the natural oscillation rates of objects or systems when they move back and forth around an equilibrium point. Every object, molecule, or system has unique frequencies at which it favors to vibrate, influenced by its structure and properties. These frequencies are important in various fields, such as physics, chemistry, and engineering, because they determine how energy is transferred or absorbed. For example, musical instruments produce sound by vibrating at specific frequencies, and molecules absorb energy at particular vibrational frequencies, affecting chemical reactions and behaviors.
