Värähdysenergia
Värähdysenergia refers to the energy associated with the vibrational motion of atoms or molecules within a substance. At any temperature above absolute zero, particles are in constant motion, and this motion includes vibrations. These vibrations occur as atoms or molecules oscillate around their equilibrium positions. The amplitude and frequency of these vibrations are directly related to the kinetic energy of the particles. Higher temperatures lead to more vigorous and energetic vibrations.
In a broader sense, the concept of vibrational energy is fundamental in various scientific fields, including
