for N oscillators and q energy units. The internal energy of the system is U=qϵ, where ϵ is some constant. Find an expression for the entropy of an Einstein solid as a function of N and q. Use this expression to derive temperature as a function of energy, U. Take your derivation a step further, and determine the formula for heat capacity using T(U,N). Show that as T goes to ∞, the heat capacity becomes C=Nk. (Consider when x is small, ex~1+x.) Does this make sense? Explain your logic and steps.
