Interaction Between Two Atoms

Q: A commonly used potential energy function to describe the interaction between two atoms is the Lennard-Jones potential

U=e((Ro/R)^12-2(Ro/R)^6)

a) Show that the radius at the potential minimum is Ro, and that the depth of the potential well is e.

b) Find the frequency of small oscillations about equilibrium for 2 identical atoms of mass m bound to each other by the Lennard-Jones interaction.
