Question

Consider an isolated copper atom being held in its equilibrium position by the mutual interaction with the neighboring atoms. If the spring constant driving the copper atom back into its equilibrium lattice site is 30.3 N/m,what is the amplitude of oscillation a temperature of 104 degree Celsius? The atomic mass of copper is given in the periodic table. Give your answer in units of Angstroms with 3 digits precision, rounding off to 3 decimal places.
