Question

1) For practice in counting microstates, determine how many ways there are to arrange 2 quanta among 3 one-dimensional oscillators. Use the formula below to calculate the number of ways to arrange 5 quanta among 4 one-dimensional oscillators Formula: ((q+N-1)!)/(q!*(N-1)!). Which of the following learning objectives are the above questions trying to have you demonstrate mastery of? (select all that apply).

Having trouble with third part:

a) Use the Einstein model for a solid to distribute energy among objects

b) Determine the number of ways to arrange q quanta of energy among N one-dimensional oscillators

c) Articulate the difference between a "microstate" and a "macrostate"

d) Describe the Einstein model for a solid

e) Calculate the entropy of a system

Explanation / Answer

1)(2,0,0)(0,2,0)(0,0,2)

2)(1,1,0),(1,0,1)(0,1,1)

so adding all states we get 6 states

a) Use the Einstein model for a solid to distribute energy among objects

b) Determine the number of ways to arrange q quanta of energy among N one-dimensional oscillators
