A system consists of N weakly interacting subsystems. Each subsystem possesses only two energy levels E1 and E2 each of them non-degenerate. (i) Draw rough sketches (i.e. from common sense, not from exact mathematics) of the temperature dependence of the mean energy and of the heat capacity of the system. (ii) Obtain an exact expression for the heat capacity of the system. Very Detailed Explanation please.

need help with thermodynamics A system consists of N weakly interacting particles, each of which can be in either of two states with respective energies e and 2. where e1 2 1. Without explicit calculation, make a qualitative plot of the mean energy U the entropy S of the system as a function of its temperature T. What is in the limit of very low and very high temperatures? What is S in the limit of very low and very...
2. A system consists of N very weakly interacting particles at a temperature T high enough that classical statistical mechanics is applicable. Each particle is fixed in space, has mass m, a. Calculate the heat capacity of this system of particles at this temperature in each of the i. The effective restoring force has magnitude κ x, where x is the displacement from and is free to perform one-dimensional oscillations about its equilibrium position. following cases: equilibrium. The effective restoring...
2. Consider an isolated system consisting of a large number N of very weakly interacting localized particles of spin 1 2. Each particle has a rnagnetic mioment μ which can point parallel or anti-parallel to an applied field H. The energy E of the systern is then E =-(ni-n2):1H, antiparallel to H. (a) Consider the energy range between E and E+δΕ where δΕ < E but is microscopically large so that δΕ μΗ. What is the total number of states...
Problem 4: [12 points] There are two systems, each consisting of a large number of interacting atoms. For system 1 the entropy as a function of energy is S,-AE1/2, while for system 2 we have S,-BEV4 Here A and B are constants. The two systems are now placed in thermal contact, and allowed to reach equilibrium. a) [6 points Evauate E2 as a function of A, B, and E1 b) [6 points] What is the heat capacity of system 1...
Artificial rubies have an atomic system consisting of three main energy levels and can be used to produce short pulses of laser light. The energies of these levels are Eo, E1 and E2, in increasing order of energy (a) Write down an expression giving the relative population of the energy levels Eo and E1 at thermal equilibrium. b) Explain what is meant by the term population inversion. Described how this is achieved in a three-level laser system Photons of wavelength...
