Abstract

This series of three Mathcad instructional documents permits students to explore the relationship between the time and frequency representations of vibrational motion in simple diatomic molecules. Exercises included throughout and at the end of each document allow students to practice the numerical methods and further investigate how bond anharmonicity and vibrational damping affect the frequency spectrum.
