mprovod Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 An array of N 1D simple harmonic oscillators is set up with an average energy per oscillator of (m + 1)hf Show that the entropy per oscillator is given by S/N = k[(1+m)ln(1+m) - (m)ln(m)] Comment on the value of the entropy when m = 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 What do you know about entropy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mprovod Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I know that entropy (S) S = kln(Z) + kTd(ln(Z))/dT Here, Z is the partition function and k is Boltzmann constant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
