In a system of two solids A and B, solid A contains 10 oscillators and solid B contains 8 oscillators. They share 30 units of energy between them. If the two solids are in thermodynamic equilibrium, determine the probability of finding half the energy in solid A.
e. Consider one unit cell and assume the length of the side of the cube is “a”. Remember that “a” is the distance between the centers of two adjacent atoms. How long is “a”, the edge of a unit cell, in terms of radius, r, of an atom? Write also your answer in the summary table.Answer: __________f. Based on the earlier questions, a simple cubic cell has the equivalent of only 1 atom. Recall the volume of sphere with radius, r, is expressed as V = 4/3 πr3. With this information, find the total volume of all the spheres in this unit cell, expressed in terms of r. (Hint: To do this, take the total number of atoms and multiply it by the volume of one atom, with radius, r)Answer: __________
