Problems are listed in approximate order of difficulty. A single dot (•) indicates straightforward problems involving just one main concept and sometimes requiring no more than substitution of numbers in the appropriate formula. Two dots (••) identify problems that are slightly more challenging and usually involve more than one concept. Three dots (•••) indicate problems that are distinctly more challenging, either because they are intrinsically difficult or involve lengthy calculations. Needless to say, these distinctions are hard to draw and are only approximate.

•• (a) (Section 15.9) Plot the Einstein specific heat of a solid as a function of temperature and thus reproduce Fig. 15.17. Assume that the vibrational level spacing has the value ε = 0.037 eV (a typical value in a solid). (b) Using the value ε = 0.037 eV, at what temperature is the heat capacity of the solid given by 0.9 times the Dulong–Petit value?
