Use a computer to reproduce Table 3.2 and the associated graphs of entropy, temperature, heat capacity, and magnetization. (The graphs in this section are actually drawn from the analytic formulas derived below, so your numerical graphs won't be quite as smooth.)
A bit of computer memory is some physical object that can be in two different states, often interpreted as 0 and 1. A byte is eight bits, a kilobyte is bytes, a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes, and a gigabyte is 1024 megabytes.
(a) Suppose that your computer erases or overwrites one gigabyte of memory, keeping no record of the information that was stored. Explain why this process must create a certain minimum amount of entropy, and calculate how much.
(b) If this entropy is dumped into an environment at room temperature, how much heat must come along with it? Is this amount of heat significant?
In Problem you computed the entropy of an ideal monatomic gas that lives in a two-dimensional universe. Take partial derivatives with respect to , and N to determine the temperature, pressure, and chemical potential of this gas. (In two dimensions, pressure is defined as force per unit length.) Simplify your results as much as possible, and explain whether they make sense.
A liter of air, initially at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, is heated at constant pressure until it doubles in volume. Calculate the increase in its entropy during this process.
In the experiment of Purcell and Pound, the maximum magnetic field strength was and the initial temperature was . Pretending that the lithium nuclei have only two possible spin states (in fact they have four), calculate the magnetization per particle, , for this system. Take the constant to be . To detect such a tiny magnetization, the experimenters used resonant absorption and emission of radio waves. Calculate the energy that a radio wave photon should have, in order to flip a single nucleus from one magnetic state to the other. What is the wavelength of such a photon?
