Resonant Frequency of water molecule 1

[Nigel]

I am embarking on a study to determine whether a water molecule can be destroyed by forcing it to vibrate at is resonant frequency.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any information will be appreciated. <p>Nigel Waterhouse<br><a href=mailto:n_a_waterhouse@hotmail.com>n_a_waterhouse@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>A licensed aircraft mechanic and graduate engineer.

Hello Nigel,

I may be wrong but my inclination is that the molecule&nbsp;&nbsp;would not decompose from being forced to resonate.

My reason for thinking this is, that you are dealing at this level with quantum mechanics. Since the resonant frequency of a water molecule falls in the microwave region and the light given off by burning hydrogen is in the visible region you would never accumulate enough energy by injecting microwaves to decompose the molecule.

Since the energy of a quanta of visible light is on the order of 3.3 x 10^ -10 ergs and the energy in a quanta of microwave radiation is only around 6.6 x 10^ -17 ergs. It would seem that the water molecule could re radiate the lower energy of microwaves without ever decomposing.

The assumption is that to decompose the molecule you would have to introduce radiation of the same energy given off when the molecule was created from hydrogen and oxygen. This is a conservation of energy problem because the water molecule has a higher entropy than
the hydrogen and oxygen it is formed from.

I don't believe the molecular resonance can be viewed in the classical sense. Like a hi Q resonant electrical circuit or mechanical resonance where the amplitude is proportional to the force applied multiplied by the Q factor. The Q factor being the ratio of the characteristic impedence at the resonant frequency and the electrical or mechanical losses. The quantum nature of the molecular resonance means that there are no losses, therefore you get out what you put in. You may in-advertantly create a MASER by pumping water with microwaves in a cavity with parallel walls so be careful where you stand and keep track of where your energy is going.

Continued heating of the water molecule may occur by some accumulation of heat inside or around the chamber or enclosure which may cause decomposition by a secondary effect. Heating the molcule to a plasma will
definately decompose the molecule. Also injecting radiation of the required energy or wavelength will decompose the molecule. Again use caution because the energy you just pumped in yielding the hydrogen and oxygen can be released by explosive recombination.

I hope you find this information helpful, sincerly, eblacker

 

I am planning a study into possible Lunar water and the affect on it by the Moon’s low gravity and lack of atmosphere. Any help you can give me I would be most graitful for.

I am an infographic designer trying to put together a graphic on the subject.
