Normal mode angular frequency

It turns out that these two equations are valid only when u> has one of two possible values called the normal-mode angular frequencies. In either case, both particles oscillate with the same angular frequency.

There are many different solutions for X1 and X2 to this pair of coupled equations, but it proves possible to find two particularly simple ones called normal modes of vibration. These have the property that both particles execute simple harmonic motion at the same angular frequency. Not only that, every possible vibrational motion of the two particles can be described in terms of the normal modes, so they are obviously very important. 

However, we need to know the behavior of solids at all temperatures. Einstein, in 1907, to deal with the problem, assumed that all the normal vibration modes have the same angular frequency co . As a result, Equation 1.21 will take the following form [12] ... 

The in-1 vibrational frequencies, C0 (s), are obtained from normal-mode analyses at points along the reaction path via diagonalization of a projected force constant matrix that removes the translational, rotational, and reaction coordinate motions. The B coefficients are defined in terms of the normal mode coefficients, with those in the denominator of the last term determining the reaction path curvature, while those in the numerator are related to the non-adiabatic coupling of different vibrational states. A generalization to non-zero total angular momentum is available [59]. 

The values of a/ represent the eigenvalues. while the L are the eigenvectors of the A matrix. There are 3N eigenvalues, and each of them corresponds to its eigenvector L. This means that we have 3N normal modes, wifti each mode characterized by its angular frequency to = 2ttv(v is the frequency) and its vibration amplitudes L. Hence, it would be natural to assign a normal mode index k = 1,..., 3N for to and L. Therefore, we have... 

A single water molecule has 3x3 = 9 normal modes. Six of them would have the angular frequencies co equal zero (they correspond to three free translations and three free rotations of the molecule in space). Three normal modes remain, and the vectors x of Eq. (7.11) for these...

A membrane is a two dimensional string . There are special frequencies of vibration, normal modes, of the membrane in which all elements vibrate with the same angular frequency, a>. Once all of these special motions are known it is possible to describe any general motion of the membrane. We shall begin the study of the vibrations of membranes by obtaining the equation of motion of the soap film membrane and hence obtain the normal mode frequencies.
