Carefully plot the Maxwell speed distribution for nitrogen molecules at and at Plot both graphs on the same axes, and label the axes with numbers.
Consider an ideal gas of highly relativistic particles ( such as photons or fast-moving electrons) whose energy-momentum relation is instead of . Assume that these particles live in a one-dimensional universe. By following the same logic as above, derive a formula for the single particle partition function,, for one particle in the gas.
Consider a system of two Einstein solids, where the first "solid" contains just a single oscillator, while the second solid contains 100 oscillators. The total number of energy units in the combined system is fixed at 500. Use a computer to make a table of the multiplicity of the combined system, for each possible value of the energy of the first solid from 0 units to 20. Make a graph of the total multiplicity vs. the energy of the first solid, and discuss, in some detail, whether the shape of the graph is what you would expect. Also plot the logarithm of the total multiplicity, and discuss the shape of this graph.
At room temperature, what fraction of the nitrogen molecules in the air are moving at less than?
Prove that, for any system in equilibrium with a reservoir at temperature T, the average value of E2 is
