Four distinguishable Hamonic oscillators a,b,c,andd may exchange energy. The energies allowed particleareEa=na0: those allowed particlebareEb=nb0, and so on. Consider an overall state (macro-state) in which the total energy is30. One possible microstate would have particles a,b,andcin theirn=0states and particle d in itsn=3states that is,na,nb,ncnd=(0,0,0,3).

(a) List all possible microstates, (b) What is the probability that a given particle will be in itsn=0 state? (c) Answer part (b) for all other possible values of n. (d) Plot the probability versus n.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The list of all possible microstates, for the given microstate, is given below-
  2. Probability of a particle to be inni=0 state is0.5.
  3. The probability for particle to inni=1, ni=2, and ni=3 are0.30,0.15,and0.05 respectively.
  4. The plot for probability vs n is shown in part (d) below.

Step by step solution

01

Total energy

The total energy Eof the particle can be written as:

E=(na+nb+nc+nd)0=30

which follows that the sum of the quantum numbers corresponds to the macro-state:

na+nb+nc+nd=3

The formula for the probability for one oscillator to be at stateniis:

role="math" localid="1660138009830" P(ni)=(M-ni+N-2)!(M-ni)!(N-2)!(M+N-1)!M!(N-1)!(1)

where Mis the integer corresponding to the energy macro-state, niis the quantum number considered, and Nis the number of oscillators.

02

Given Data

The total energy of the particle in the given microstate is 30.

03

All possible microstates(a)

Let us now enumerate all possible microstates for the given microstate in which total energy is 3o:

(0,0,0,3);(0,2,0,1);(0,2,1,0);(1,2,0,0);(0,0,3,0);(2,0,0,1);(0,0,1,2);(0,1,1,1)(0,3,0,0);(2,0,1,0);(0,1,0,2);(1,1,1,0);(3,0,0,0);(2,1,0,0);(1,0,0,2);(1,1,0,1)(0,0,2,1);(0,1,2,0);(1,0,2,0);(1,0,1,1)

04

Probability for one oscillator(b)

In this problem, we haveM=3, andN=4

Plugging in ni=0, the probability at which an oscillator is at state ni=0is thus:

Pni=0=(3-0+4-2)!(3-0)!(4-2)!(3+4-1)!3!(4-1)!=5!3!2!6!3!3!=1020=0.5

05

remaining possible values for ni are 1, 2, & 3(c)

The remaining possible values forniare 1,2,&3.

For ni=1the probability is:

Pni=1=(3-1+4-2)!(3-1)!(4-2)!(3+4-1)!3!(4-1)!=4!2!2!6!3!3!=620=0.3

For ni=2we get:

Pni=2=(3-2+4-2)!(3-2)!(4-2)!(3+4-1)!3!(4-1)!=3!2!6!3!3!=320=0.15

For ni=3we get:

Pni=3=(3-3+4-2)!(3-3)!(4-2)!(3+4-1)!3!(4-1)!=2!2!6!3!3!=120=0.05

06

plot the function(d)

Using our results in parts (b) and (c), the data are:

niP(ni)

00.510.320.1530.05

Plotting ni=1as a function of n we thus have:

Equation (9-27) gives the density of states for a system of oscillators but ignores spin. The result, simply one state per energy change ofbetween levels, is incorrect if particles are allowed different spin states at each level, but modification to include spin is easy. From Chapter 8, we know that a particle of spinis allowedspin orientations, so the number of states at each level is simply multiplied by this factor. Thus,

D(E)=(2s+1)/h0.

(a) Using this density of states, the definitionNh0/(2s+1)=1, and

N=0N(E)D(E)dE

calculate the parameterin the Boltzmann distribution (9-31) and show that the distribution can thus be rewritten as

N(E)Boltz=kBT1eE/kBT

(b) Argue that ifkBT>>,the occupation number is much less than 1 for all E.

We based the exact probabilities of equation (9-9) on the claim that the number of ways of addingN distinct nonnegative integer quantum numbers to give a total ofM is{M+N-1)!/M!(N-1)!. Verify this claim (a) for the caseN=2,M=5and(b)for the case.

N=5,M=2

Copper has a density of8.9103kg/m3, and no photoelectrons are ejected from it if the wavelength of the incident light is greater than8.9103kg/m3(in the ultraviolet range). How deep is the well in which its conduction electrons--one per atom-are bound?

The Debye temperature of copper is 45K .

(a) Estimate its molar heat capacity at 100 K using the plot in Figure 9.33(b) .

(b) Determine its corresponding specific heat and compare it with the experimental value of 0.254闯/驳路碍.

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, energyEu

(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'?
