- Infrared spectroscopy measures the vibrational frequencies of molecules, providing information about their chemical structures.
- Vibrational energy levels in molecules determine their ability to absorb or emit infrared radiation.
- Phonons are quantized units of vibrational energy in solid materials, influencing their thermal and electrical properties.
- Vibrational modes describe the different ways in which atoms in a molecule can move relative to each other.
- Vibrational analysis is used in mechanical engineering to study the dynamic behavior of structures subjected to oscillatory forces.
