8. As a basis for the calculation of the specific heat of a solid,
Einstein assumed that the N atoms in the solid could be con-
sidered as forming 3N harmonic oscillators each with the same
frequency v. Show that the specific heat of the solid in this case
would be
C, = 3R
where Op = hv/k is known as the Einstein temperature and the
%3D
mean oscillator energy is taken from section 8.2.

·Shown here is the visible part of the spectrum of some gas. There are 11 lines. There could be 6. more, they just aren't in the wavelength range of the spectrum. The wavelength increases toward the right. :.. de f gh k (a) Which line or lines correspond(s) to the two closest spaced energy levels? Explain. (b) Which line or lines correspond(s) to the two farthest spaced energy levels? Explain. (c) What is the minimum number of energy levels in an atom of the gas that could produce the lines in this spectrum? Explain.
The wavelength of the emitted photon from the hydrogen molecule H2 is 2.30 μm (micrometers) when the vibrational quantum number decreases by one. What is the effective "spring constant" for the H2 molecule in N/m ?What is the "zero point" energy (in eV) of the molecular vibration?
An atom has a mass of 1.17 × 10-26 kg. If we consider this atom vibrating with simple harmonic motion with a force constant of k =49.8 N/m (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, h = 6.626 × 10-34 J ∙ s, ħ = 1.055 × 10-34 J ∙ s, 1 eV = 1.60 × 10-19 J) Determine the ground state energy of this system, in hundredths of electron Volts. (answer x 10-2 eV). Please give your answer with two decimal places.
