Homework Statement
At what distance r is the Lennard Jones potential minimized?
Homework Equations
Typical graph of Lennard Jones potential, U(r) vs. r/σ
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought that from looking at the graph, r = ∞ for potential minimization. However, the answer turned out to be (2)1/6σ. Could someone explain?
