1. Oscillator. The vibrations of 14N2, dinitrogen, can approximately be described with a Morse potential

                          2

   () e [1 e(e ) ] where e eV is the depth of the potential well, e is

   the bond length at the potential minimum, and /2 e . The molecules force constant is

   1235 N m1. With 0 /, the energies of the stationary states in a Morse potential are

                 (0 )2

   0 ( 1/2) ( 1/2)2 . (A) Calculate the energies (in...
