"2. Compare O$_2$ and OH, what do you observe regarding oscillation amplitudes?\n",

- " In a diatomic molecule, the relative amplitudes are given by $A_1=-\\frac{M_2}{M_1}A_2$ (c.f. theory). Therefore, hydrogen being a much lighter element compared to oxygen, its amplitude is much greater. This can be understood intuitively as the hydrogen atom as a much lower inertia than oxygene, and thus when given the same energy, the hydrogen atom will oscillate more easily.\n",
