mprovod Posted February 18, 2008 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
mprovod Posted February 19, 2008 Author 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.
