For an harmonic oscillator the restoring force is directly proportional to equillibirium displacement (distance from fix point) but the exat form is anharmonic oscillator because the molecule is not rigid completely and due to fro and back motion the bond length get extended more due to repeating process , it happens naturally.
Hence anharmonic oscillaor is exact model than harmonic oscillator.

a. Sketch the expected shape of the pure vibrational absorption spectrum of a diatomic molecule that is well described by the harmonic oscillator model (absorbance as a function of frequency). (We are pretending that there are no rotations occurring for this question. For real diatomic molecules, if they are IR active, there will also be rotational excitations and therefore a rovibrational spectrum.) In what portion of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum would you expect this absorption to occur? b. Sketch the...

Explain (in your own chemically accurate words) why and how you can use IR spectroscopy to measure bonding parameters for a polar, diatomic molecule. You will need to address why the ro-vibrational spectrum is in the IR region of the electromagnetic spectrum (this may include a discussion of vibrational and rotational motion and the selection rules associated with them) the origin of the P, Q and R branch (including a figure to indicate the origin of each set of peaks...

4.92 Mean energy of a harmonic oscillator A harmonic oscillator has a mass and spring constant which are such that its classical angular frequency of oscllation is equal to w. In a quantum- mechanical description, such an oscillator is characterized by a set of discrete states having energies En given by The quantum number n which labels these states can here assume all the integral values A particular instance of a...

8.4 The Two-Dimensional Central-Force Problem The 2D harmonic oscillator is a 2D central force problem (as discussed in TZD Many physical systems involve a particle that moves under the influence of a central force; that is, a force that always points exactly toward, or away from, a force center O. In classical mechanics a famous example of a central force is the force of the sun on a planet. In atomic physics the most obvious example is the hydrogen atom,...
1. (30pt) LC Circuit and Simple Harmonic Oscillator (From $23.12 RLC Series AC Circuits) Let us first consider a point mass m > 0 with a spring k> 0 (see Figure 23.52).

1. Consider a dilute solution of molecules at fixed temperature T. These molecules have access to a surface that has a total of B binding sites where molecules can bind. To count states in this system, we will divide space into small cells that each can hold a single molecule. There are a total of B cells that have a binding site, and a total of M cells that do not have binding sites. The overall number of cells is...
