Problem 1: Fermi temperature of the sun
At the center of the sun, the temperature is approximately 107K and the concentration of
electrons is approximately 1032 per cubic meter. Would it be (approximately) valid to
treat these electrons as a classical gas (using Boltzmann statistics), or as a degenerate
Fermi gas (with T × 0), or neither?
A system containing a single particle in a rigid container at temperature 100 K has a translational partition function of Ztrans = 1.5 × 1012.
(a) If the mass of the particle is doubled, what is the new value for ztrans? Report your answer in scientific notation (in Blackboard, 1.23 x
1045 is written 1.23E45).
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
