Consider an object containing 9 one-dimensional oscillators (this object could represent a model of 3 atoms in an Einstein solid). There are 5 quanta of vibrational energy in the object.
(a) How many microstates are there, all with the same energy?
1287 microstates
(b) If you examined a collection of 30000 objects of this kind, each containing 5 quanta of energy, about how many of these objects would you expect to find in the microstate 000000005?
I got part (a) but I don't know exactly what question 4 is asking? Thanks for the help.
