Abstract
The molecular dynamical simulation of the normal vibrational mode of water which involves H-O-H angle deformation, when driven by an external force, can be used to see how a driven harmonic oscillator, classically, is associated with the infra-red spectrum of water (and the absorption for this particular normal mode).
