Talk:Fermi resonance

It really does require an entry and I will try and get some good info verified by a decent physics or chemistry text to improve this article MartinY 15:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC).

This article is almost completely opaque and, I would guess, worthless to anyone who doesn't already understand the concept. Someone please replace language such as "accidental degeneracy" and obscure symbols for symmetry with a truly didactic presentation.173.75.216.225 (talk) 23:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Water

There is an important Fermi resonance in water between the symetric and antisymetric stretch, and possibly also with the overtone of the bending mode. I hope to write something on this, sources & help would be appreciated of course =) . Danski14^(talk) 20:18, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

For my money, the article still needs explanations of the phenomenon. If you think that water's vibrational spectrum provides a powerful example of Fermi Resonance, then I recommend that you focus on WP:SECONDARY and WP:COI. The gist of the the first of these guidelines is Wikipedia's preference for citations to reviews and books, not primary journal references (many tens of thousands appear annually). Also avoid citing yourself or your colleagues. Looking forward to your contribution. --Smokefoot (talk) 21:09, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
