Abstract
We give a physical interpretation for finite tight frames along the lines of Columb's Law in Physics. This allows us to use results from classical mechanics to anticipate results in frame theory. As a consequence, we are able to classify those frames for an N-dimensional Hilbert space which are the closest to being tight (in the sense of minimizing potential energy) while having the norms of the frame vectors prescribed in advance. This also yields a fundamental inequality that all finite tight frames must satisfy.
