We study low frequency vibrational modes in atomically thin molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) by means of the Raman scattering spectroscopy. A shear mode related to rigid interlayer vibrations is identified. Its energy evolution with the increasing number of layers is well described using a linear chain model with only nearest neighbor interactions. The resulting force constant (Kₓ = 2.7 × 10¹⁹ N/m³) corresponds well to the previously published data.
