Consider the problem and answer the subquestions.
Suppose an Einstein Solid is in equilibrium with a reservoir at some temperature T. Assume the ground
state energy is 0, the solid is composed of N oscillators, and the size of an energy "unit" is e.
(a) Find the partition function for a single oscillator in the solid, Z1.
Hint: use the general series summation formula 1+ x + x? + x³ + ... = 1/ (1- x)
(b) Find an expression for , the average energy per oscillator in the solid, in terms of kT and e.
(c) Find the total energy of the solid as a function of T, using the expression from part (b).
(d) Suppose e = 2 eV and T = 25°C. What fraction of the oscillators is in the first excited state, compared
to the ground state (assuming no degeneracies of energy levels)?
