(a)
Interpretation:The sets have the same energy should be demonstrated.
Concept Introduction:
The formula for calculation total energy is given as:
Whereas
(b)
Interpretation:The set which is most probable should be determined
Concept Introduction:Stirling's approximation is an approximate formula, for
Those sets having large value of weight configuration of mass such set is most probable set among all sets.
(c)
Interpretation: For the most probable set whether the distribution of energy is consistent with the Boltzmann distribution should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The occupation gap between the energy levels of set C.
