In other words, if we don't have to worry about entropy or volume equilibrium is achieved when energy is at a minimum.

换句话说，如果我们不担心熵,和体积的平衡,那么能量就得是最小的。

So, when we think about a bond length, this is going to be the length of our bond here, that makes sense because it's going to want to be at that distance that minimizes the energy.

因此，当我们考虑一个键的长度的时候，这就应该是我们的键长，这是合理的,因为体系会在核间距达到这一距离时,能量到达最小值。

OK, so R minimum, the minimum separation occurs when the energy is at its minimum.

好的，所以R处是最小值，间距最小值出现在,当能量为最小的时候。

In some sense, that's one reason to associate this as a kind of energy, H just like mechanical energy u or enthalpy H, it's the minimum free energy state that is the equilibrium state under the relevant conditions.

在某种意义下，这是我们把这些物理量称为能量的原因，就像机械能U和自由焓，具有最小自由能的状态在特定的条件下,就是平衡态。

So, the take-home message is whether you have three photons or 3,000,000 photons that you're shooting at your metal, if you're not at that minimum frequency or that minimum energy that you need, nothing is going to happen.

所以，这里表明的信息是,无论是向金属发射3个光子,还是300万个光子,如果没有达到所需的最低频率,或者最小能量,什么事情都不会发生。

PROFESSOR: Good. So, it's going to be in 3, because that's the shortest energy difference we can have, 3 those 2 are inversely related, so it must be n equals 3.

教授：好，是3，因为它的能量差最小，红色的是我们能看到的，所以一定是n等于。
