The entropy of an ideal monatomic gas is, to within an additive constant. Show that this implies the correct relationship between internal energy Eand temperature.
What is special about a metastable Stale, and why is it so useful ina laser? Why wouldn't a non-metastable state at the same energy work?
Show that the rms speed of a gas molecule, defined as , is given by.
For a roomtall, by roughly what percent does the probability of an air molecule being found at the ceiling differ from that of an equal speed molecule being found at the floor? Ignore any variation in temperature from floor to ceiling.
Consider a simple thermodynamic system in which particles can occupy only two states: a lower state, whose energy we define as 0 , and an upper state, energy
(a) Cany out the sum (with only two states, integration is certainly not valid) giving the average particle energy E. and plot your result as a function of temperature.
(b) Explain qualitatively why it should behave as it does,
(c) This system can be used as a model of paramagnetic, where individual atoms' magnetic moments can either be aligned or anti aligned with an external magnetic field, giving a low or high energy, respectively. Describe how the average alignment or antialignment depends on temperature. Does it make sense'?
