How might I be able to answer Problem 11.1? I could some kind of integral in order to find the average P for part B, but I'm not sure. This section is in a chapter named "Atomic Transitions and Radiation," and is under quantum mechanics.
Consider an object containing 6 one-dimensional oscillators (this object could represent a model of 2 atoms in an Einstein solid). There are 4 quanta of vibrational energy in the object.
(a) How many microstates are there, all with the same energy?
(b) If you examined a collection of 38000 objects of this kind, each containing 4 quanta of energy, about how many of these objects would you expect to find in the microstate 000004?
In the canonical ensemble, we control the variables T, p, and N, and the fundamental function is the Gibbs free energy (G). But if we control T, p, and μ, then we will have a different fundamental function, Z (This is the case for cells that often regulate their temperature, pressure, and chemical potentials to maintain equilibrium). Which of the below options should the Z function equal?
H - TS - μN
H + TS + μN
H + TS - μN
G + μN
F - pV - μN
-H + TS + μN
