Normal mode - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_modeConsider two equal bodies (not affected by gravity), each of mass m, attached to three springs, each with spring constant k. They are attached in the following manner, forming a system that is physically symmetric: where the edge points are fixed and cannot move. We'll use x1(t) to denote the horizontal displacementof the left mass, and x2(t) to denote the displacement …

Normal Modes of Vibration
instruct.uwo.ca › chemistry › 734bInternal vibrational modes of a molecule containing N atoms is made up of the superposition of 3N-(5 or 6) simple harmonic vibrations called normal modes. -5 for linear molecules ≡(3 translations + 2 rotations) -6 for nonlinear molecules ≡(3 translations + 3 rotations) Normal coordinates , Qk, are linear combinations of atomic displacements xi, yi, zifrom the equilibrium positions of the atoms.
Normal Modes - Chemistry LibreTexts
chem.libretexts.org › Normal_ModesApr 16, 2022 · Normal modes are used to describe the different vibrational motions in molecules. Each mode can be characterized by a different type of motion and each mode has a certain symmetry associated with it. Group theory is a useful tool in order to determine what symmetries the normal modes contain and predict if these modes are IR and/or Raman active.
