1. (10 pts) Consider a system of N classical, independent harmonic oscil- lators. In the microcanonical ensemble, calculate Ω(E) and Ω(B) exactly.

Problems 6.1 Phase space of a classical harmonic oscillator The energy of a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, whose position coordinate is x and whose momentum is p, is given by where the first term on the right is its kinetic and the second term its potential energy. Here m denotes the mass of the osellating particle and a the spring constant of the restoring force acting on the particle. Consider an ensemble...

2. Microcanonical ensemble: One-dimensional chain. (24 pts.) Consider a one-dimensional chain consisting of N segments as illus- trated in Figure 1. Let the length of each segment be a when the long dimension of the segment is parallel to the chain and 0 when the long dimension is normal to the chain direction. Each segment has just two non-degenerate states: long dimension parallel to the chain or perpen- dicular to the chain. Now consider a macrostate of the chain in...

8.4 The Two-Dimensional Central-Force Problem The 2D harmonic oscillator is a 2D central force problem (as discussed in TZD Many physical systems involve a particle that moves under the influence of a central force; that is, a force that always points exactly toward, or away from, a force center O. In classical mechanics a famous example of a central force is the force of the sun on a planet. In atomic physics the most obvious example is the hydrogen atom,...
