The vibration frequencies of atoms in solids at normal temperatures are of the order of 10.0 THz. Imagine the atoms to be connected to one another by springs. Suppose that a single silver atom vibrates with this frequency and that all the other atoms are at rest. Compute the effective force constant. One mole of silver has a mass of 108 g and contains 6.02 × 1023 atoms.
