Consider an ideal gas containing N atoms in a container of volume Pressure P, and absolute temperature T1 (not to be confused with K. E. T). Use the virtual theorem to derive the equation of state for a perfect gas.
Problem 1:
This problem concerns a collection of N identical harmonic oscillators (perhaps an
Einstein solid) at temperature T. The allowed energies of each oscillator are 0, hf, 2hf,
and so on.
a) Prove =1+x + x² + x³ + .... Ignore Schroeder's comment about proving
1-x
the formula by long division. Prove it by first multiplying both sides of the
equation by (1 – x), and then thinking about the right-hand side of the resulting
expression.
b) Evaluate the partition function for a single harmonic oscillator. Use the result of
(a) to simplify your answer as much as possible.
c) Use E = -

Simplify as much as possible.
d) What is the total energy of the system of N oscillators at temperature T?
calculate the heat capacity of an Einstein solid in the low-temperature limit. Sketch the predicted heat capacity as a function of temperature. (Note: Measurements of heat capacities of actual solids at low temperatures do not confirm the prediction that you will make in this problem.
