Two electrons each are fixed at a distance 2d.2d.2d. A third charge proton placed at the midpoint is displaced slightly by a distance x(x≪d)x(x\ll d)x(x≪d) perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges. Proton will execute simple harmonic motion having angular frequency:

(m=m=m= mass of charged particle)
