Atoms in a solid are in continuous vibrational motion due


Atoms in a solid are in continuous vibrational motion due to thermal energy. At room temperature, the amplitude of these atomic vibrations is typically about 10^-9 cm, and their frequency is on the order of 10^12 Hz.

(a) What is the approximate period of oscillation of a typical atom?

(b) What is its maximum speed?
