2. A collection of N harmonic oscillators at thermal equilibrium and at absolute temperature T shown by statistical mechanics has a thermodynamic energy of the form Nhv U = hv el kgT 1 where b is Planck's constant, kB is Boltzmann's constant, T is absolute temperature, and v is the vibration frequency. (a) Determine the limit U at v = 0 and interpret the result physically. (b) Determine the limit U when T = 0 and interpret the result physically
