1-5. In a strictly steady state situation, both the ions and the electrons will follow the Boltzmann relation n; = no exp (-4,6/KT,) For the case of an infinite, transparent grid charged to a potential 6, show that the shielding distance is then given approximately by ne 1 AD €o KT, KT,. Show that Ap is determined by the temperature of the colder species.
Start by defining 1(1) = N1 sin(7r/a) (1) b2(x) = N2 sin(2ñr/a) (2) for the infinite square well. Fix N1 and N2 so that %3D 2) You should find that p(r) is periodic in time. That is p(x, t + T) = p(x,t). Find that T, and draw p(x) for at t = 0, t = T/4, t = T/2, and T = 3T/4.
Consider N identical harmonic oscillators (as in the Einstein floor). Permissible Energies of each oscillator (E = n h f (n = 0, 1, 2 ...)) 0, hf, 2hf and so on. A) Calculating the selection function of a single harmonic oscillator. What is the division of N oscillators? B) Obtain the average energy of N oscillators at temperature T from the partition function. C) Calculate this capacity and T-> 0 and At T-> infinity limits, what will the heat capacity be? Are these results consistent with the experiment? Why? What is the correct theory about this? D) Find the Helmholtz free energy from this system. E) Derive the expression that gives the entropy of this system for the temperature.
