In a classical model the vibrational motion can be treated as SHM of the atoms connected by a spring. The two atoms in a diatomic molecule vibrate about their center of mass, but in the molecule HIHI, where one atom is much more massive than the other, we can treat the hydrogen atom as oscillating in SHM while the iodine atom remains at rest. A classical estimate of the vibrational frequency is ff = 7.0×10137.0×1013 HzHz. The mass of a hydrogen atom differs little from the mass of a proton. If the HIHI molecule is modeled as two atoms connected by a spring, what is the force constant of the spring? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
