Exercise 52 gives the Boltzmann distribution for the special case of simple harmonic oscillators, expressed in terms of the constant . Exercise 53 gives the Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac distributions in that case. Consider a temperature low enough that we might expect multiple particles to crowd into lower energy states:. How many oscillators would be expected in a state of the lowest energy,? Consider all three-classically distinguishable. boson, and fermion oscillators - and comment on the differences.
The Fermi velocityis defined by, whereis the Fermi energy. The Fermi energy for conduction electron in sodium is 3 I. (a) Calculate the Fermis velocity (b) What would be the wavelength of an electron with this velocity? (c) If each sodium atom contributes one conduction electron to the electron gas and sodium atom are spaced roughlyapart. If it is necessary, by the criteria of equation (9-43), to treat the conduction electron gas as quantum gas?
This problem investigates what fraction of the available charge must be transferred from one conductor to another to produce a typical contact potential. (a) As a rough approximation treat the conductors as 10 cm square plates apart-a parallel-plate capacitors so that , where . How much charge must be transferred from one plate to the other to produce a potential difference of ?(b) Approximately what fraction would this be of the total number of conduction electrons in a piece of copper. which has one conduction electron per atom?
Consider a system of one-dimensional spinless particles in a box (see Section 5.5) somehow exchanging energy. Through steps similar to those giving equation (9-27). show that
Figure 9.8 cannot do justice to values at the very highspeed end of the plot. This exercise investigates how small it really gets. However, although integrating the Maxwell speed distribution over the full range of speeds from 0 to infinity can be carried out (the so-called Gaussian integrals of Appendix K), over any restricted range, it is one of those integrals that. unfortunately. cannot be done in closed form. Using a computational aid of your choice. show that the fraction of molecules moving faster thanis; faster thanis; and faster thanis. where" from Exercise 41, is. (Exercise 48 uses these values in an interesting application.)
