Write e1023in the form 10x, for somex.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value in the form ase1023=104.343×1022.

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 Using logarithmic function:

The natural logarithm, which has eas its base, is the most frequent exponential function in physics and mathematics due to its straightforward features. However, logarithms may be defined in terms of any other real number, and the definition is similar to that of natural numbers. The base ten logarithms are defined as follows:

10log(x)=x

Taking logarithm on both sides and using lnab=bln(a),we have

ln10log(x)=ln(x)log(x)ln(10)=ln(x)

Converting base as exponentiation form as

e1023=10x

02

Step: 2 Finding value in form:

Taking logarithm on above equation,

e1023=10xlne1023=ln10x

If lnea=a;lnba=aln(b)so,

1023=xln(10)x=1023ln(10)x=4.343×1022e1023=104.343×1022.

Rather than insisting that all the molecules be in the left half of a container, suppose we only require that they be in the leftmost 99%(leaving the remaining 1%completely empty). What is the probability of finding such an arrangement if there are 100molecules in the container? What if there are 10,000molecules? What if there are 1023?

Use a computer to produce a table and graph, like those in this section, for two interacting two-state paramagnets, each containing 100 elementary magnetic dipoles. Take a "unit" of energy to be the amount needed to flip a single dipole from the "up" state (parallel to the external field) to the "down" state (antiparallel). Suppose that the total number of units of energy, relative to the state with all dipoles pointing up, is80; this energy can be shared in any way between the two paramagnets. What is the most probable macrostate, and what is its probability? What is the least probable macrostate, and what is its probability?

Calculate the multiplicity of an Einstein solid with 30oscillators and 30units of energy. (Do not attempt to list all the microstates.)

This problem gives an alternative approach to estimating the width of the peak of the multiplicity function for a system of two large Einstein solids.

(a) Consider two identical Einstein solids, each with Noscillators, in thermal contact with each other. Suppose that the total number of energy units in the combined system is exactly 2N. How many different macrostates (that is, possible values for the total energy in the first solid) are there for this combined system?

(b) Use the result of Problem2.18to find an approximate expression for the total number of microstates for the combined system. (Hint: Treat the combined system as a single Einstein solid. Do not throw away factors of "large" numbers, since you will eventually be dividing two "very large" numbers that are nearly equal. Answer: 24N/8πN.)

(c) The most likely macrostate for this system is (of course) the one in which the energy is shared equally between the two solids. Use the result of Problem 2.18to find an approximate expression for the multiplicity of this macrostate. (Answer:24N/(4πN) .)

(d) You can get a rough idea of the "sharpness" of the multiplicity function by comparing your answers to parts (b) and (c). Part (c) tells you the height of the peak, while part (b) tells you the total area under the entire graph. As a very crude approximation, pretend that the peak's shape is rectangular. In this case, how wide would it be? Out of all the macrostates, what fraction have reasonably large probabilities? Evaluate this fraction numerically for the case N=1023.
