Problem 3.36. Consider an Einstein solid for which both N and q are much
greater than 1. Think of each oscillator as a separate "particle."
(a) Show that the chemical potential is
N+
- kT ln
N
(b) Discuss this result in the limits N > q and N « q, concentrating on the
question of how much S increases when another particle carrying no energy
is added to the system. Does the formula make intuitive sense?
