The Einstein's model makes the assumption that a solid can be treated a set of N identical, independent
harmonic oscillators. Compute the heat capacity for such a system. Make the simplifying assumption that a single
harmonic oscillator is described by the quantized energy levels: E, = kħw, where k = 0,1, 2, ....
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?
I have N distinguishable and identical particles. There are two energy levels, 0 and > 0.
The energy level & has degeneracy 2 and the lower level is non-degenerate. The total
energy of the system is E. Find the occupation numbers n using microcanonical ensemble,
in terms of temperature. (The n is quanta of energy for the upper level and n is the
quanta of energy for the lower level).
