Physical Chemistry: What is molecular vibration?
Is molecular vibration only important in physical chemistry or are there other fields where it is relevant?
Although molecular vibration is most commonly studied in physical chemistry, it is also important in other fields such as materials science and engineering. By understanding the vibrational modes of molecules, we can design more efficient and effective materials for various applications. For example, the properties of polymers and ceramics are often determined by their vibrational modes.
