The vibration of a system in the ground state

Reference no: EM13551230

The vibration of a system in the ground state is called zero point motion, because the molecule is at zero kelvin. The tips of air plane wings(mass of order 10^4 kg) oscillate in flight (period of 1 s, amplitude of 0.1 m), could this be zero point motion? Show through calculation
