Question

Physics

One method of measuring the mass of a virus particle is to usea laser to measure the oscillation frequency on a thin siliconwafer that is 28nm long. Then you put a virus on the silicone waferand measure the frequency again. We do not need to delve into howthe actual the device looks like we can use the model of a mass ofa spring to describe the physical process. The following data comesfrom an experiment, the mass of the silicone wafer was 2.12•10^-16gand the frequency was 2.04 ∙ 10^15?z without virus and with viruson the silicone wafer was frequency 2.86 ∙ 10^14?z.

Determine the mass of the virus particle.
